Answers:
Apply Ice to decrease the swelling.

Did you black out/pass out.? If you did, then a trip to the ER is recommended.

Your probably ok. If you experience any changes in vision, develop nausea/vomiting, severe headache, then you will need to go to the ER.

If you have any clear liquids draining from your nose or ear, then call 911.Health Question & Answer

I work in an ambulance control room - if we get a call regarding a head injury, regardless of how it happened, we'd really like to check it over.

I suggest calling 999 and explaining what has happened..they will decide if you need an ambulance, although I guarantee that they will send you one. Then call your parents immediately and get them to come home.

Your head, despite being hard, is very delicate and you never can be too careful with it. It holds your brain!

Call someone now..

I'd just like to add that if you are concerned about wasting their time, you won't be. Ambulance crews are here to help...use them if you need to - and I think you need to.

Let me know how it goes - hope you're okHealth Question & Answer

Considering all that you have written after hitting your head I reckon you're going to be fine.
