Hello,

First of all, you should be put under medical supervision for 24 hours, then you should do a CT brain, if you have a deterioration in the level of consciousness.

If the CT brain is normal, you should have bed rest for 3 days and take some painkiller.

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

Take care

Regards,
