Get checked: Get in for evaluation. Lump may take quite a while to go away - it may never go away completely. See the MD for follow-up to rule out a possible concussion. Not something to fool around with or put off until later. Go tomorrow and find out your status and any needed treatment options and any further follow -ups. Tell them you are in pain after the trauma. Good Luck.

Head injury: After even trivial head injuries, post traumatic symptoms of headache and lightheadedness may go on for days,but with frequent and more severe headaches,lightheadedness,vomiting,drowsiness,confusion or visual disturbance an evaluation by a physician is needed to check for serious post concussion complications such as subdural hematoma.

You should see doctor: as this sounds like a serious head injury. Concussion could certainly give these symptoms. You should consider a CT to be sure nothing is on going. Once the possibility of injury to the bones and brain excluded then care can begin . Best wishes
