Neurologist 's  Response
Hello,

There does not seem to a cause for concern at this stage. However, if you start vomiting, or if you get a severe headache, then, get a CT scan of the brain done.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
