Watch and wait: If the swelling is stable and numbness is not increasing, you may watch and wait. If it does not start improving in a couple of weeks, please consult your doctor. You may try warm compresses to hasten the resolution of the hematoma - collection of blood in the tissue.

Usually will run its course, though U may always have a small lump there. Ice, compression, elevate, later heat. If run fever or progresses C Ur PCP, numbness usually goes away or Ur brain gets tired of hearing about it & U won't notice it.
