Suggest Remedy For Swelling From Head To Nose Due To Injury

My son, who is 5, hit his head on the coffee table last night in the area of the Metopic Suture area, from what I could tell on line by comparing the injury to the frontal bone. As soon as it happened, it swelled out as far as the length of his nose and sideways out over the inner corners of both eyes. Reminded me of a broken blood vessel, the swelling that is. We put ice on it right away and the swelling has come down, but it is still swelled and now the black and blue is spreading around the eyes. Should I be concerned that the injury was more severe than a bump? Will this bump ever go away? He is acting totally normal.
