Hi

redness is due to injury to soft tissues of baby .You can give paracetamol for pain and inflammation. If baby is active , playful ,no vomiting ,no bleeding from ears , hearing is OK ,eyes normal ,than you need not worry ,it will resolve in24-48 hours.Take care in future

Hope I answered you query
