Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the head following which you are having a bump.
This indicates hematoma because of collection of blood at the site of injury as a result of impact of injury.
This will resolve by 1-2 weeks and treatment is by cold compression and use of analgesic drugs.
However if you are having severe pain need to rule out fracture of the underlying bone, hence you may require radiological investigations like X rays.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
