Suggest Treatment For Bump On Forehead After Accidentally Hitting The Wall

hello: about 45 mins ago I was in the bathroom with my toddlers and I went to throw something away. when I went to turn around, I smacked my head into a wall. There was a bump the size of a quarter on my forehead. I hit my head just to the right of the middle. I put ice on the bump and it has gone down. However, I feel sleepy right now. I took some advil too. I am not throwing up, no fever. I just feel a bit sleepy and out of it. is this normal?

Hello and welcome

Do not worry you will be fine.
These bumps are produced as a result a immune mechanism to the injury by a process called Inflammation it is characterized by redness,pain,swelling,hotness.
Alarming symptoms in head injury are severe headache, vomiting, vision changes and disorientation..
And you do not have these symptoms.
You'd done food to apply the ice packs.
For pain you can use ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.
You will be ok in a week.

Hope you understand.
Thanks
Bye
