Probably not concuss: its unlikely, but you may be familiar with the 'shaken baby' syndrome where children handled with too much force develop bleeding inside the skull. If symptoms continue, consult a practitioner who can order the appropriate imaging.

Your headache is your symptom: Concussion don't just happen with a direct blow to the head. It has to do with a sudden change in the direction of the movement of your head. The soft brain impacts on the hard Skull and can lead to a concussion. If the headache does not resolved quickly, See your doctor
