Sleep with your head elevated above the heart level a bit to prevent opening up the wound again. Sleeping in an elevated position will prevent the swelling. You should go back to the doctor who diagnosed your head wound and follows his guidance on its treatment. In case of new symptoms or relapses, the doctor may make a referral to a neurologist or plastic surgeon for specialized care.
