Brief Answer:
If no symptoms, no need to be worried about.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have read your question.

If the hit was light and there were no symptoms such as loss of consciousness, any nausea or vomiting, communication problems such as disorientation for example, strong headaches, any bleeding from nose, ear, or any other neurological signs, there is no need to worry about anything serious.

If any symptoms mentioned above, then there is necessary to get evaluated at the ER for traumatic brain injury.

It is necessary to for your son to be monitored for these symptoms for approximately 24 hours.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
