Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry, take pain killers and rest
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Minor head injury may be associated with headache, neck pain depending upon the impact on head.
If all examination by a doctor is normal and there was no danger signs present like loss of consciousness, seizures, facial deviation, bleeding via ear and nose then you may rest assured.
Take pain killers off and on as required.
Be vigilant for any new symptoms.
Hope you recover early.
