Take it easy: You have had a trauma to your head even though you did not lose consciousness. It may be a bone bruise or the covering of the shill has a lot of nerve endings. Just take it easy and don't do things that cause more pain or much head movement . If headaches, swelling, confusion or any negative changes occur, get back to the doctor. Another few days rest doesn't hurt either. Better to be safe.

Have you informed yo: I am sure your doctor has given you some guidance! it does take 2-3 weeks to heal any soft tissue injury. If the symptoms persist or get any worse, your doctor will likely ask you to have an x-ray of the bone or a ct scan of the head. I would wait it out for few more days to see if it will improve on its own.
