Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you are a bit disoriented for a day , you should see a local doctor at emergency for evaluation. As per your symptoms , injury appears to be minor but all head injury with symptoms beside headache should be evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
