I won't get overly worried as there is no history of vomiting,loss of conciousness,altered sensorium or any abnormal movement and irritability also has been settled now.
All the cases of head injury don't lead to injury to the brain.
I would request you to observe for the above mentioned symptoms and if you notice any please consult emergency room immediately.
Wishing for your baby's good health.
I shall be glad to answer if you have any more query.
