Suggest Treatment For Eye Twitching In A Child

Hi there, my son will 5 in April. Two weeks ago he slipped and hit the back of head (more to the left) quite hard. Then four days ago whilst at basketball, the ball was thrown into his face quite hard. From four days ago he has a twitch in his left eye as well as movement of his head. He has had his eyes checked not too long ago and everything was perfect. Please advise.
