General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Generally, the symptoms will settle in a couple of days. As of now drink plenty of water and take rest. If symptoms persist you can consult a physician and plan for a CT head.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
