What Causes Headache And Swelling In The Head After An Injury?

I fainted 6 days ago after a hour of vomiting and diahorrea. That self resolved after 24 hours but since I have had what I think is vertigo, postural dizziness, also dizzynwas moving from sitting-standing / lying-sitting and localised headaches to my right tempular lobe where I landed on. There is still slight swelling to the area but no haematoma developed

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Swelling may be due to either soft tissue Hematoma or skull bone fracture. You need to do Indigo CT scan head to rule out any serious head injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
