How To Treat Headache And Visible Dent On Forehead?

I hit my head quite hard this morning and caused a dent in the middle of my forehead - no break in the skin- a slight bruise but the dent is visible and has not gone away nearly 12hours later -(have got a headache now but it doesn t hurt unless I touch it.)

I really appreciate your concern, ideally such injury need to be sent for CT imaging if this is unremarkable then this is nothing to worry and swelling would be fine with "Tab Ibuprofen" dose need to be given according to age and weight, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
