Dear patient
you seem to have hematoma formation on your forehead. If there is no vomiting and giddiness internal head injury is less likely but Ct scan of the brain should be done to be sure. You should be observant for 48 hours after injuries. If nothing happens in 48 hours you should not have head injury. Apply ice packs on forehead and take tab ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for pain relief. Tab chymoral forte twice a day for swelling.
