Brief Answer:
Nothing serious.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

Since there is only tenderness and no other symptoms such as loss of consciousness after the accident, nausea, vomitng, or any other neurological symptoms, I think that you should not be worried about anything serious.

Furthermore, 2 days passed, so, if there was any serious damage it should be evident by now.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

One other question....
When I increase my activity, my cheeks feel numb. Is this from the bump on the head?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Erion Spaho (4 hours later)

Brief Answer:
You can use ibuprofen or paracetamol for the headaches.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

Headaches may last a few days, tenderness may persist for a couple of weeks, but there are no exact timeframes in such cases.

You can use ibuprofen or paracetamol for the headaches.

Numb cheeks are very unlikely to be linked with the bump.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to discuss with me if you have further questions.
