Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son was hit against the hard surface he has developed that lump on his forehead. As CT scan report was negative it is a good sign.

Following this impact he may be having other symptoms and it will subside in 2-3 days.

I would suggest you to do following remedies
1.Hot pack over the bump on the forehead
2.Analgesic and Antipyretics like Paracetamol
3.Oral Antibiotics for 5 days
3.Salt water gargling.
These remedies will help your son to bring down the symptoms and he will feel better in few days.
Thank you.
