See your doctor: Depending on how you feel now, you may need to see your doctor. If you conk your head, but don't have nausea, vomiting, or any loss of consciousness, you can be observed for a few hours (by a responsible adult). If you do have vomiting or were knocked out or have a severe headache, you should be seen immediately by a doctor to rule out concussion.
