Good evening, can you advise? My daughter hit her head near her eye socket three days ago. There were no concussion symptoms, but a bruise did appear. Today, both her eyes are swollen, and it doesn't look like conjunctivitis. I plan to have her examined tomorrow and then see a doctor based on the results. What's better: an X-ray or a CT scan?

Rimma Didn't go anywhere? Didn't do anything? I still want to be safe, maybe she has a concussion, although there are no symptoms. Well, she said her head hurts today, and she has both eyes [affected], even though the bruise is under just one.

Anita Is this in the free healthcare system? They always prescribe the cheaper options 😏, so that the mandatory health insurance is cheaper.

Here, they don't do CT scans or X-rays without a doctor's referral, not for adults, and definitely not for children...

They won't do anything for the baby without a referral here.
Not in any clinic.

Okay, for my injury, they first prescribed an X-ray, then a CT scan, and only after that an MRI.

Dasha Ah, I've already been told, so she'll go straight to the doctor. Just need to figure out which one, a traumatologist or a neurologist? Ugh, I don't want to hop around, especially since we'll go to a private one right away.

Can you do a CT scan or X-ray here without a doctor's referral?

Gumennaya YuLIYa
Tatyana Ruzanova Many have already said they don't do that, and I haven't been in that situation, so I don't know. I'll find out tomorrow, or I'll have to go to a clinic where they do all those tests.

Anita And cheaper? If it's a fracture, the X-ray will show it.

First, go to the doctor. They'll give you a referral, and you can't do any procedures without it.

Tatyana Ruzanova I'd start either at an emergency room covered by insurance or take her straight to a private clinic. They'd either do everything there or give you a referral if they can't. You could also go to the hospital's emergency department. I don't know about your city, but in St. Petersburg, they can do a CT scan right in the ER if they deem it necessary.
Wishing the girl good health.

In this case, it's best to go to the doctor. They'll have a better idea if X-ray diagnostics are even needed.
