Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Here it seems to be mild blunt traumatic injury to head .....

So inflammation might be there along with bruise ....

Apply ice pack over that ....

Maintain hydration .....

Avoid stress ....

Symptomatic management done ...

Ibuprofen 200 mg tablet can be taken ...

If symptoms increasing than consult surgeon for physical examination...

Hope your concern solved ...

Take care ....
