Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
this is probably swelling of soft tissue,not brain since brain swelling is very serious condition. you should have head and cervical xrays to rule out some more serious injury but this is not likely. you should rest ,avoid lights and noise, apply cold copmresses on swelling and take standard analgesia.
Wish you good health. Regards
