The fastest way to reduce swelling from a bumped and swollen forehead

   The fastest way to reduce forehead swelling after a bump is through rest, ice application, massage, and other methods.

   1. Massage

   Gently massage the swollen area of the forehead with your fingers for 5–10 minutes each time, repeating several times daily. Massage helps improve local blood circulation and accelerates the reduction of swelling.

   2. Ice Application

   Wrap an ice pack or ice cubes in a towel and apply them to the swollen area for 10–15 minutes at a time, repeated multiple times as recommended. Ice application constricts blood vessels, reduces blood flow to the injured area, and thereby alleviates swelling.

   3. Medication

   If the swelling is caused by an infection following injury, topical treatments such as povidone-iodine solution or Mupirocin ointment may be applied under a doctor’s guidance. Oral antibiotics like Penicillin G sodium tablets or Ampicillin sodium tablets can also be taken for treatment.

   Additionally, surgical intervention may be used in some cases to reduce swelling. It is recommended that patients avoid spicy and irritating foods in daily life, and consume appropriate amounts of protein- and calcium-rich foods such as eggs and milk, which help replenish nutrients and boost immunity. Maintaining regular lifestyle habits and avoiding staying up late is also important.
