See doctor: The kid must be miserable and you need to bring him to a doctor (ear infection is one thing which can make a baby very irritable) even if he has not sustained any major injury to the head.

"I DON"T FEEL GOOD": 20% of toddlers head-butt to say, i'm mad, sick, want attention, pain relief like with ear inf. It can be associated with autism and other developmental disorders —as one of many red flags. Rarely does head banging alone signal a serious problem. In this case he is clearly telling you something. "take me to the doctor now! i don"t feel good" translation mine. :).
