HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern all head injuries should be kept under the observation at least 48 hours this is the rule, if your has got no clinical symptoms then no need to worry but for the safety purpose he need be examined clinically, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
