Should I Be Worried About Getting A Bruise After Hitting My Head?

I got hit in the head by a paintball and when i was hit it was really painful and caused my ear to start ringing it was hit closer to the side of my face. I was wearing a helmet but it's starting to bruise...since i was hit in the head should i be worried about anything?

Hi. It is fortunate that you were wearing a helmet. Despite this you still have the tendency to bruise. If you have no other symptoms then I would not be worried. Take some regular simple pain relief. If you develop any other symptoms then you will need to see your family doctor.
