how is the child now? does he have any headache or vomiting or loss of conciouness after he fell after the incident? if not then the swelling may be harmless. is the swelling increasing in size or is the same. if so keep a ice pack on the lump . ususally such swelling takes its own sweet time to resolve. and if possible take precaution in the future by putting carpets in his play areas, using helmets when he goes cycling
