Dear XXXXXXX

There is history of injury to head but presumed that it was not associated with loss of consciousness, vomiting or any specific neurological complaint it appears to be a injury to scalp and/or skull bone. What you need is a check by general practitioner for a pain reliever and rest. You should consult the ER immediately in case of deterioration with the above symptoms.
