Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is unfortunate that you got hit on successive occasions at different places, once on the head and the other time on upper abdomen.
However, I would like to reassure you that your injuries do not appear serious and there is no need to worry at present.
You can take analgesics such as diclofenac or ibuprofen to relieve the pain. If the pain persist, you may get an ultrasound or CT scan done to find out the underlying cause.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
