Head Contusion: Usually similar injuries are superficial and settle within 2-3 days, and since you have no new symptoms I think it should settles by itself However, if you get increasing headache, getting sick, vomiting or not feeling well you should check with your doctor

Monitor : Hitting the back of your head usually doesn't cause long term symptoms. If there was no loss of consciousness and you are acting like yourself that is great. Occasionally there is some nausea and a few episodes of vomiting but if it persists be seen. All the best.
