Is Headache In A Toddler Post Being Hit On Forehead A Cause For Concern?

Yes thanks, my 4 year old son tripped coming down out of my SUV and hit his head on garage floor/pavement...specifically, right front eye brow bone. Immediate swelling and bruising, size of walnut. I iced it for 10 minutes and he seems okay, just complains of headache. This happened an hour ago. Do you advise I take him into doctor immediately? Thank you for your time, Kyla
