Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Head injuries are very special kind of traumas. Even if there is no symptoms at right after it, some bleeding inside the head is possible. Especially if the injury was strong enough to cause a lump.
That is why it is better to have a CT in such case. And for sure you should have a CT if the symptoms like nausea, headache appear.
That is why I suggest you to visit ER once again, consult neurologist and consider head CT.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
