Have Dull Pain In Temple After Injury. Feel Small Bump Developing. Visit Doctor?

I recently suffered a small blow to the head from being hit by an earphone in the temple. I have a dullish pain in that temple now. I did not pass out. I do not have loss of memory, vision, motor function, no visible signs of swelling/bruising, or a severe headache. It has persisted for over an hour now and feels like a small bump is forming. The pain is annoying, but it is bearable. Will it go away or should I seek medical treatment?

Hi,
This pain will gradually disappear and the swelling will reduce. There is no need to visit your doctor. It is not a serious injury.
