General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question.

You have had a hit of soft ball, so chances of severe injuries are rare , still if I were your treating doctor I would have taken a scan of brain and x ray of face bones to rule out injuries to brain and face.

I would like to advise you to visit a neurosurgeon and orthopaedic specialist as early as possible to come to a definitive diagnosis and take treatment accordingly.

I hope I have clarified your queries. I would welcome follow up queries. I wish you good health.
