This is very serious. As head injury sometimes causes hematoma inside brain.
Advice
1. Go to emergency ward of hospital
2. Do not take ibuprofen as it might increase risk of bleeding
3. Paracetamol 500 mg per oral when you feel headache
4. Cinnarizine 25 mg every 8 hours per oral for 7 days
5. Investigation
a. MRI of brain
Thanks
