Hello,
Thanks for posting,
You need to get a bed rest after taking some analgesics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen or aspirin. Ice pack will also be useful in relief.
If headache persist, just book an appointment to see a doctor who can examine you and request for CT scan or MRI just to be sure that it is nothing severe.
I am sure you are having just a mild concussion that will subside subsequently.
Regards
