Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is common to have such symptoms after a head concussion.
I recommend have some rest and avoiding possible repeated head trauma, which could lead to further aggravation of your situation.
I would also advise taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the pain.
If your symptoms worsen in the next days (worsened headache, confusion, somnolence, nausea,etc.), I recommend going to the ER for a head CT scan to exclude possible delayed intracranial hemorrhage.
Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Aida
