How Serious Can Be Blood Clot Below Eye After Getting Hit?

Hello, My son 17 month old was playing in park. He got hit below his left eye, I see a small blob(blood clot) blue in color formed below his eyes. He does not feel pain when I touch it. Could you please tell me how serious is this. He is not complaining in any way . Please let us know the remedies. Thanks , Ningappa
