Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If you are having a scalp swelling and that hurts then a clinical examination might be required to know if there is any bleeding in the scalp swelling. This occurs when there is slight blood collection below the scalp skin.

People having a concussion might experience headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, loss of concentration and memory, and noise sensitivity most commonly. These usually get better in 3 months.

If the dizziness is slight then you can take rest and apply ice over the injured area. The pain might increase tomorrow and this is usually mild. If the dizziness increases or you feel vomiting with loss of balance then please go to ER for evaluation of probable internal head injury. Persistent dizziness also requires you to go to the ER and get a CT scan to be done.
