Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You need non contrast CT Scan of brain before coming to any conclusion.
CT scan can detect injuries like parenchymal hemorrhage, subdural or extradural hemorrhage in brain . It can also detect any bony injuries in brain.
You also need proper clinical examination to exclude any other injuries.
You can take analgesics for pain.
Take Care
