Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lump On Forehead After Injury

My daughter hit the ground with her forehead 2 days ago. A huge lump formed above her eye and has since gone down but swelling has moved to over half her forehead, her nose, and one eye is somewhat swollen but both eyes are becoming bruised. No nausea or dizziness, just a bad headache and swollen face. Normal?
