I just got hit in the head with an iron?

Question

I was sitting on the floor picking stuff up from my closet, and the iron fell off the top shelf, falling a good 2 feet, and hit me on the head. It hurt pretty bad. Am I supposed to go to the ER or should I just ride it out?

Answer 1

Go to the ER and get it checked out. Even though there may not be obvious injuries, you could have injured something inside of your head. You should never just wait out head injuries. It could be serious or it could be minor. They will be able to run some tests and see what happened.

Answer 2

you should put ice on it right away.  if there is a indented bump you should go to the ER.
