hi,

thank you for the brief history of you.

as you said you had a fall and also some knots over your scalp. You should see if you have any redness of the eye, bleeding from the nose or ear etc. Also as you have a direct impact on the scalp I will advice to meet a physician on a safer note for him to examine you. also you can take an MRI to see if any internal bleeding is there at a later stage if you have any abnormal symptoms.Swelling is a normal physiological process and it subsided in 48-72 hours or may be a little longer depending upon the age and other factors. As you said apart from this you don't have any symptom than you can wait for a while do some icing and things should be fine. If you find any abnormal symptoms you can visit the ER on a safer side.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
