Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since you are experiencing unusual symptoms after the accident, I recommend getting CT scan of head done to rule out concussion/hematoma. Please be advised to follow up with the urgent care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
