Hello. Welcome to HCM. This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See, first of all, go to ER at your earliest. Get a proper examination and a CT scan brain done. This is necessary and urgent. Do not neglect a head injury especially when you have pain and photo phobia. In the meanwhile, take tablet paracetamol 650 thrice daily. Don't get involved in strenuous activities and don't go out in the sun.
Hope this was helpful. Regards
