Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Bump On Temple

Hello , I bumped my head on the left temple and it is feels bad . The area is a bit swollen and I feel a throbbing pain there and around my left eye. It s also painful to open my mouth and chew. I m anxious because i know it is where the artery passes , so should i go to the ER or just wait maybe the pain would calm down . Thank you .
