What Could Swollen Lumps On The Temple Post A Injury Suggest?

Hi. I got hit in the right temple with a knee and became very dizzy instantly. I didn t lose consciousness but had blind spots in my vision for about a half hour afterwards and my right fingers became numb right afterwards. They regained feeling within 10 minutes or so and I acquired a good lump on the temple. It is a day later and is still swollen. There is no dizziness nor much pain, but I cannot open my jaw very far without pain. How worried should I be?
