Suggest Treatment For Bump On Head Due To Hitting

Hi im 18 years old, weigh 165 and im 5'11". Today I was on a tube in the river and I was thrown from it going 20 mph, I hit heads with one of my friends and my whole body went numb for probably a minute. I took advil so my head doesn't hurt at the moment, but I have a big bump on my head. Should I be worried about a concussion or anything else?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI,Dear.Very Good Morning from India.Thanks for your query.I understand your concerns.I studied your query in depth.
-I would advise you not to worry.In my opinion its -mostly a-Acute Boney Contusion of the Frontal bone with hematoma.
-Its not a concussion-as you were numb and nothing to indicate Concussion or signs of Head Injury.
-If you get-vomiting, diziness, report to ER Surgeon-who would treat for the Concussion/ head injury.
-Treatment-Tb-NSAIDs,-Ice Compresses for 2-3 days time would reduce the lump and would go off in 1 wks time there after.
-Hope this relieves your worry-some query. Wellcome for anymore queries in time to come.Have a Good Day.
