What Causes Swelling On The Head After An Injury?

Three month old fell two days ago. Hit head on tile floor. Diagnosed with fractured skull and mild brain-bleed. Released yesterday. Swelling on one side of head has gone down..suddenly, there is new swelling on the opposite side of head. Gotta go to ER, right?
