I've been nursing a bump on the back of my head for a few days now, after slipping in the bathroom and hitting a tiled wall. I've noticed the swelling is almost gone, but the area still hurts when I touch it. Should I be concerned about a potential internal injury or is it pretty normal for this kind of thing? Would love some advice on whether it's wise to get it checked out.
