we usually suggest 24 hour observation but if your son had any loss of consciousness, seizure, bleeding from nose or ears, vomiting i would suggest you to immediately consult near by doctor and plan for a CT.
head injury some times may cause bleeding in the brain which results in increase in intracranial pressure and may present with above symptoms which may immediately requires attention or else ur son should be good to go in a couple of days
