I tripped and fell 5 days ago and hit my head hard on the kitchen counter. I wasn t knocked out. Had a terrible head ache for about an hour or so. Woke up the next day the left side of my head from above my temple back towards ear about 4 or 5 inches long was swollen. Very painful to touch my head even today. I have been putting ice pack on head. Have had a headache every day from not bad to pounding when I put my head down. No vomiting etc. Just headache and a sore head.
