That is a collection of blood beneath the skin resulting from the trauma,and will get reabsorbed in a few weeks time.
Ice fomenting for 5 mins done every 6 hours for 24 hours will help.
Give paracetamol every 6 hours for 48 hours.
Watch for abnormal behavior,sleep pattern changes persistent vomiting or seizures for 72 hours,as signs of brain injuries can appear late at this age.
