Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. You must know that your head injury was mild as you are conscious and oriented after 5 days. However the pain due to it can cause problem for 14-16 days.

It is good that you applied icepacks at injured area. You can also take some painkiller like
: Diclofenac sodium after proper prescription
: Tablet Paracetamol after proper prescription

Also, you should
: Avoid straining and heavy work
: You can take rest for 10 days

If you feel, it is not decreasing at all, then better consult doctor to get CT head examination and general examination. It will help you in finding exact cause and treating it.

Hope it will help you.
Thanks
Take care
