Suggest Remedy For Painful Bump On Head

I hit my head a week ago on a wooden wall shelf while I was standing up from sitting in a chair. It s sore to the touch now, even laying on my pillow hurts. I didn t black out it anything when I hit it, I didn t even feel any pain when it happened actually. Should I be worried? How long until the soreness goes away?

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be local swelling due to injury, if this not hurting much then this can be left like this only and this would come around on its own but if this is painful then this can be treated with anti-inflammatory drug and the best option would be Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in a day, within 3 to 4 days this would come around, hope this information helps, take care.
