“Swollen forehead ”
I was struck on the front left of my head just above my hair line 2 days ago. I had the laceration glued and had cat scans, no fractured skull but my forehead along my eyebrow line has now swollen slightly and is puffy.

I think that is normal inflammation of the trauma, which should clear up with ice, PCP f/u if symptoms persist.
It is a rule of thumb that 2 days after the trauma the swelling is most pronounced, After that, it starts to diminish. You can look forward to about 14 days of recuperation, but rest assured, your immune system will take care of it.
