Hello,
At the moment just wait and watch.
In case you develop persistent vomiting,mental confusion,blurring of vision,bleeding from nose or ear etc,you immediately go to ER as it could mean internal bleeding ( inside the brain ).You would need a CT head to rule out that.Till then you can apply local ice and take ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for pain in head.
Thanks
