As it appears from your complaints that you had bump in your forehead after impact against glass door if the impact is not very heavy (that may cause laceration of the skull if it is very heavy impact) but minor then icepack and taking local measure like applying local analgesic ointment is fine but if the headache persists for days together you need to consult a Physician
