Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms can be due to concussion injury of your head.

I would advise that you should take proper rest.
You should avoid watching television, computers and text messaging during this period.

You can take pain killer like Ibuprofen after meals for headache.

If the symptoms persists or worsen, get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a medical professional.

A CT scan or MRI of head will be helpful.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
