Had Hit On Head. Lump Appeared Without Headache. Should I Be Concerned?

Thanks for posting your query.
From your description it seems that you have suffered a minor head injury.
Such minor injuries are usually more frightening than threatening. A minor concussion without any symptoms is not worrisome.
If you can consult a physician easily then it is best to get yourself examined for any neurological deficits. There is no need to rush to an ER immediately. You can self monitor yourself for any deterioration in the symptoms like unconsciousness, severe headache, blurred vision, bleeding from eyes, nose or ears, vomiting, etc in which case you need to rush to ER immediately.
Meanwhile you can do a hot compress in the area of injury and take a mild pain killer like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for relief.
The pain is likely to subside in next 4-5 days.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
