Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
Head swelling after a head injury is a normal tissue reaction to trauma.I am happy the x ray came normal.If there are no signs like loss of conciousness, poor feeding, vomiting, i will say there is no big problem to be scared of.A pain/anti-inflammatory drug like ibumol may help solve the problem.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
