Can Sore Nose, Lips And Headache After A Fall Be Serious?

I fell earlier today and hit face forward on concrete. I hit my nose, nothing broke nor did it bleed very much. I bit thru the skin above my upper lip and that did bleed but it stopped bleeding fairly quickly. I had no issues other than a sore nose and lip. I kind of have a headache now but not bad. Should I go to the ER? I live by myself.

Please consult at ER if you have a headache.
Because it is one of the symptom of severe head injury and clinical condition need to be assessed and to decide whether a ct brain is required or not.
