Hi..this seems to be a trivial trauma of the head and neck region with a mild sprain. Unless he is having vomiting continuously, Seizures, Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose, Unconsciousness, Altered sensorium or behavior, you need not worry. You can use Ibuprofen for pain relief and if not getting better, consult your pediatrician.
