Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If you didn't experience any short loss of consciousness, nausea, there is nothing to worry about. If you have slight headache, rest and OTC analgesics should be fine. If you experience any worsening headache, nausea or vomits, limb weakness, then you should consult ASAP your primary care Doctor, or be present in ER. If any of this doesn't happen in 24 hours, then slight headache is normal after head injury. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
