My brother fell off his bike about 2 wks ago and has a hematoma (according to doctor).  It is the size of a softball and does not seem to be going away.  The bruises are gone but not the lump.  Is this something to be worried about?  He is 53 yrs old and in good health otherwise.
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Nothing is to be done for a hematoma as it resorts spontaneously. At the most you can take enzyme preparations containing trypsin, chymotrypsin. Like choral forte with your doctors' opinion. These enzymes help in faster resorption of the hematoma. Be watchful whether this hematoma gets infected or not... as fever will be there if it gets infected. Consult your doctor for antibiotics in such situation & if pus is formed, Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Wish you faster recovery. Thanks. Regards.
