Headache is quite common after having sustained injury in children.
If the following criteria are fulfilled there is no cause for concern

3. No loss of consciousness
I would suggest the following which will be very helpful to relieve the pain
1. Bed rest and adequate sleep

Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.
