What Causes Headache And Running Nose After Head Injury?
I bumped my head on the kitchen cabinets (pretty hard) about 48 hours ago. I was not unconscious and did not experience memory loss, vision disturbances or anything major. I developed a goose egg on my head and this has since gone down a lot and is only hurts a little now. The main problem is that I have mild headaches and one side of my nose seems to be a bit runny. Should I be concerned?

Hello.
Since you don't have any symptoms of a concussion or, more worrisome, a bleed inside your brain, most likely you'll be fine but I have to suggest, since I can't examine you, that you have your doctor check this out
