What Signs That Needs To Be Taken Care For Headache Caused Due To An Accident ?

I hit my head - was in an above-closet cabinet and the heavy wood door came down on my head. I had a headache before this happened. It hurt initially and now I am naseous. My head hurts less but I'm getting on a plane in 2hrs and I'm a bit worried...are there signs I can watch for to know if I need medical attention? I've had concussions before but am concerned bc of travel. Thanks.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
As I always being advised that head injury never be taken lightly or as granted, if the time period of your head injury have completed 48 hours then it is okay otherwise it should be watch closely for at least two days, within this time any thing could happened and the main concern is sensorium if this going to alter then it is medical emergency, (Severe headache, projectile vomiting convulsion has to be watched ) take care, have nice journey.
