Brief Answer:
May not be concerning...

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If the head is not hurting you anymore, then the injury is less likely to be concerning. Headache, nausea and vomiting along with unconsciousness are the ominous symptoms that should be watched for. If you don't have these symptoms in the next 24 hours, I will deem you safe.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
