General & Family Physician,  's  Response
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com.....

well from your description, it does not seem like very severe....
but first some queries...
is the bump very big?
did he vomit or get unconscious following the injury?
is he somewhat drowsy?

if all the answers are no....you should not worry....
give him syrup paracetamol or dissolved tablets...
apply cold compress or ice for 2-3 days thrice daily...
keep an eye on him for some days for any symptoms...

hope that was helpful....
contact me for any further queries...
