How To Cure Lump On The Cheek After Hitting?

Hi, my 23 month old son fell over and hit his cheek on his toddler bed. It resulted in a black eye which has now gone. We had him checked by a dr after it happened and we were told it was unlikely to be fractured. Now he has a hard lump on his cheek, almost feels like a pocket under the skin. What do we do???
