Hi..what you quote seems to be like a hematoma. Usually they settle in due time and almost never get complicated...but it depends on where it is formed. If its is in head...you need to know about danger signs -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behaviour.
if these are not there, you need not worry.
