How Can A Head Injury Be Confirmed?

Hi I am 24 year old female and a toddler was trying to place a plastic fireman hat on my head. But ended up hitting the top of my head hard. It still hurts but just on the top. How can you tell if its just bruised or more serious? It's been 9 hours. Thank for your advise!!!
