What Causes Bump On The Back Of Head?

HI, about 10 minutes ago, i hit my head on my kitchen tile floor. I have a small bump on the back of my head, a bit stiffness in my neck and my right eye as a little blurry (but it normal now). I fell from a height of about 5 feet. Do I need to see a doctor?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
You and any of you family member should watch for unconciousness, giddiness, black eye,ear or nose bleeding or fits and should go to hospital stat. When these alarming signs develops you needs CT scan to look for bleeding or damage inside your skull/brain. As per your discription of mode of injury you dont require all this but you should be careful. If medical help is not nearby then better to get admitted for observation if you are filling giddy or blurring of vision at present.
Regards.
