What Could Sore Head, Swollen Forehead & Ears After An Accident Indicate?

i was in a slight car accident 4 days ago, banged my head which has given me a lump, i also got a little bit of whip lash, and bruising to my lower back. my head seems to be getting alot more sore and my ear and fore head are slightly swollen now, and it feels like my head is bleeding when i know its not. is this just the bruising coming out? or should i be more worried?
