Brief Answer:
You need to see a doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I am sorry to hear that. Given the bump and the headache, I urge you to see a doctor to check if you had a concussion. You will most likely need to have a head scan done.
You also need to get an x ray of the elbow done, to see if there is any fracture.
Please see a doctor as soon as you can.
I hope everything will be alright.
