Monitor: for nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, double or blurred vision. Local ice and Tylenol- ER if any symptoms worsen.

Ice & rest if no Sx.: If u did not lose consciousness at the time, & if u have no neurologic symptoms (changes in hearing, vision, etc.) then u probably have a contusion / bruise on the skull without brain injury. Keep ice on the area (you should do this immediately after any injury). Doing it now may not help as much, but could decrease the pain and swelling further. After that, wait. See a doc if u get worse symptoms
