What Causes Pain In The Head And Eyes After Hair Is Pulled?

I had my hair pulled very hard by a special ed student today. S/S then and now are head pain, eyes bothering me. At the time and for over 3 hours later my head throbbed and as funny as it sounds it sounded like crickets in my head when I sat quietly. Could I have received a concussion from it?

Hi,

As you explain the situation yes this is a trauma of the head. During these days you can take painkillers twice to relieve the pain. If it lasts than better to do a head X-ray to see if it is a real problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
