Pain, Slight Swelling And Pressure In Head, Lightheadedness, Fatigue. History Of Being Hit On Head. Concussion?

I just recieved a head injury playing with my son, and was hit awfully hard by his knee! That was two hours ago and still feeling the pain and have pressure and slight swelling from it. It is senstive to the touch; and I feel lightheaded when standing up! also started feeling very tired! Could these be symptoms of a concussion?

Hi, it depends upon whether you hit the boys knee,if it is the case you should consult the surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. If the boys knee hit your head it cant hit so intensly, so you can wait for some time to see if the symptoms persist, if persists you consult a neurologist for diagnosis. Thank you.
