Shutuz jumped off the bed , has a small cut on forehead

I have a 18 month old shutzuh. He jumped off the bed and his head hit the corner of the table. He never stopped. I noticed he have a little cut on his forhead, beside his eye, and it's a little puffy. What can I do, to help it heal.

Shih Tzus are prone to having food allergies, to corn, grain & this affects their eyes.(as well as their skin/coat)
Gradually switch her over to a good grain free food, lamb perhaps, like Taste of the Wild.

Hi, just gently bathe it with warm water about a cupful with a level teaspoon of salt mixed into help the bruising go down ....making sure it does not drip into his eye.... a tiny bit wont hurt but afterwards dip cotton wool into pure water to flush the eye afterwards.
A dab of antiseptic ointment on the cut rub in as to make sure it does not also go into the eye.
Also just keep a watch for vomiting and sleepiness in case of concussion rare..... but if  any of those symptoms straight to the Vet.
