Can wait and watch now.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the symptoms, your husband seems to have suffered a mild head injury. There is no need to worry at the moment. No further treatment is necessary now. He can take rest for few hours now.
Please watch for all the signs you listed. In addition, also watch for vomiting, severe headache and fits. If any of them happen, he should be taken to a doctor immediately. Otherwise, you can meet the doctor the next day.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
