Hi dear.... Oh!!! He must be careful...No dont worry, its just a minor hit.Have you placed any cold compress over the area.No dont worry too much if there is no headache, are feeling of light headedness.Has he sustained a cut over the area? If it needs asuture do get that done. Otherwise if its too minor leave it alone.Continue the brufen for pain but ask him as often as you can, if he feels heavy or lightheaded...Then you need to take him to the ER.For now let him rest.
