Does Ibuprofen & Ice Packing Cure Lumps On Forehead?

I am a 72 yr. old woman in good health, except some arthritis and osteoporosis . This afternoon I tripped on a sidewalk crack and fell hard on my forehead. Immediately I had a golf ball sized bloody lump. It got hard (more like taut). I was close to home so I got an ice pack on it shortly. It is now about 5 hours later and it is still quite taut and the rawness hurts to the touch (ice too). I am getting a headache in the front of my head (forehead area). Will periodic ice pack treatment and ibuprofen be sufficient? It just hurts and looks awful. Thanks, Mary
