 [ Symptoms ] is it wise to get shingles vaccine and flue vaccine at the same time  my work is offering a shingles vaccine and flu vaccines they will pay for them but can i get them both on the same day would i get really sick     [ Disease ] my short answer to your question is this any time you have got a lump on the head and you are worried about it it is ok to go see the doctor a major point i want to make is this never ever take a blood thinning pain reliever such as advil ibuprofen also goes by the name motrin aspirin brand names excedrin bufferin anacin etc  or naproxyn brand names alleve naprosyn after hitting your head these medications can cause bleeding which could turn a not so serious injury into a very serious injury i am glad your husband seems to be doing fine and it is always better for the swelling to be on the outside of the skull than the inside however if your husband has dilated pupils the black dots at the center of his eyeball slurred speech or loss of balance you should take him to the doctor right away these can be signs of a more serious head injury with a bruise the size you are describing it is likely your husband has suffered a concussion these may range from mild to severe again if you have any concerns about the extent of his head injury your safest bet is always to seek medical attention since it is been more than 24 hours since the accident you do not need to rush to the emergency room but you definitely can get evaluated at an urgent care facility or ask your primary care provider to work your husband in for an appointment soon best wishes to you
