: Yes, it may get worse the next day and that's why a follow-up appointment is scheduled. If symptoms get worse further, you should go to ER, not waiting til tomorrow.

Typically the most intense symptoms occur immediately after the injury and slowly improve. If you are worsening, this implies a need to check for additional complications
