Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am sorry about the injury that you suffered. You now have the bump on the temple that is sore and hard too.
In the absence of other symptoms like headache, dizziness, hearing problem, vomiting and nausea, blurred vision, there is no need for you to see a doctor.
I would suggest you to take over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin or Panadol that can help you in relieving the soreness. You can apply intermittent hot compression over the bump for it to reduce in size. It should go away eventually.
Meanwhile, rest well and take plenty of water orally.
You should be fine soon. Take care!
