Hello and thanks for the query.
As your son, didnt exactly remember what happened immedietely when he came home, its possible he may have temporarily lost comsciousness due to a concussion. He also has some alteration of sensorium and lightsensitivity which indicates that you need to see a pediatrician or neurosurgeon immediately to rule out any intracranial injury/ bleeding within the skull, etc. Hence, kindly take him to the Hospital as soon as possible.
Wishing your son a speedy recovery.

Hello Dear
Thanks for your query
You should visit a neurologist immediately and get a medical check up of your son .
A CT scan of brain needs to be done.
Is he still having headache and is sleepy & weak ? There may be intracranial hemorrhage which needs to be taken care of.
For headache you can use analgesics like Paracetamol ... but the condition needs to be clinically evaluated and investigations need to be done.Don't self medicate .
Update here how he stays ..
Hope this helps.
Take care.
