Best Tip

You do NOT need to stay awake for 48 hours or anything like that! They used to say with concussion that it was best to stay awake but this comes from hospital admissions and the observations that nurses take to check neurological function. If you have a bad headache that hasn't gone away with medication I would suggest you see a doctor as soon as conveniant to you. The lump is an indication of swelling as a reaction to you hitting your head on the wall. It will resolve in it's own sweet time but ice will help. If you are at all concerned that a visit to the doctor is the best option open to you!

Others
you need to stay awake for a least 48 hours to make sure there is no brain damage
apply ice , off and on for about 30 min. you should be able to sleep tonight unless dizzy or other abnormal signs.
u cant get rid of it "quickly" im sorry...
use painkillers in form of tablets
the lump will go down eventually. keep using ice packs. and take Tylenol or something like it.. and stay awake ...

You would really need to bang your head good for a concussion. With a concussion, you have a need to sleep, but cannot because of the injury.

Apply ice, and you should be fine.
