Brief Answer:
could be

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes it appears like minor concussion may be there without bleeding. Nothing much needed for that. It will heal itself.

I suggest you to consult doctor if you develop following symptoms
-giddiness
-nausea continues or vomiting
-headaches
-fits
-loss of consciousness

otherwise no need to do anything. That soreness on touch will reduce slowly.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Brief Answer:
means increase in severity of injury

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Those symptoms indicate there is increase in severity of injury.

Giddiness means you feel head heavy and like earth is rotating and you loose your balance.

Fits means epileptic attack(epilepsy) or convulsions. In this body suddenly start shaking and people go unconscious or may become normal later.

Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
