Hello dear,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.If you would have presented to me as an outpatient,I would have made the following clinical explanation-A mild head injury raising a goose egg on scalp does not usually cause any intracranial damage.It can however,result in headache for few hours due to injury related inflammation.This headache should not be associated with dizziness and gastric upset.Probably,it is the gastric upset which is causing dizziness and these are unlrelated to injury.For now,please take single dose of some non steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine along with proton pump inhibitor.I hope you will be fine.Hope it helps.
