Just go see a doctor.
an X Ray of your head would be required to see if there was any permanent damage done, so get yourself to the ER.
If it's been five days, and your head still hurts, go see a dr.! You need to make sure that it's not something more serious. You should have gone to the dr. the day after it happened, you could have gotten concussion or something! Have him/her check you over just to be safe...hope you learned you lesson...I know I have in the past.
What you fear is head injury.Signs of head injury are:nausea/vomiting,giddiness,... pulse rate and high blood pressure etc.If you did not have any of these,most probably you don't have a head injury.So,there is no need to worry.About your hand,well,sweeling,redness,loc... warmth,pain and loss of function are the basic five signs of inflammation.So,you are only having these signs which are a part of the healing process.If you develop fever,consult a doctor.
I think you should go get it checked out by the doctor then he/she will tell you what medicines to take and stuff. Otherwise for your head pains if they're like headaches use tiger balm and wrap your head with a scarf,my dad uses it and it really works instead of taking an aspirin.
An x-ray would help to see if there is any damage, however, you need to see a doctor for this. Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, dilated pupils can be signs of something serious. The head is more resilient than you think but if the headaches continue please see a doctor. Icing the area would have helped with the swelling. Ibuprophen will help with the inflamation.
