1. Since skin of head cannot stretch thus any trauma will result in swelling (haematoma) of the head which will require time to get down (since lymphatic system is also absent in brain)
2. Get yourself checked for Neurological Examination (from head to toe) for any other injury and if vitals are perfect then only cold compresses to haematoma is sufficient, otherwise if om examination any abmormality is found then C.T. Head may be asked.
