Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

Looks like you have got a hematoma (blood clot) following the bump. It occur when there is an injury to a vessel following trauma, leading to collection of blood in the region.

It will get absorbed slowly but will take a few weeks in this process. You may take painkillers for your pain.

But keep a watch over the swelling, and on case it becomes more painful or red you will need to get it removed, as that means that it has got infected.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards
Dr. Ashish Verma
