I hit my right temple about a day ago and it's still really hurting. It's tender to the touch and I've had a headache for around 20 hours. I'm also feeling on and off nauseous, and it hurts in my temple when I open my mouth. I'm still pretty cognitive though. I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be wrong?

Blurry vision or difficulty focusing. Any change in cognitive function, such as memory problems, difficulty concentrating, or confusion.Based on your symptoms, your doctor may recommend an MRI or CT scan of your head to rule out any serious injury, like a concussion or fracture, and to ensure there is no internal bleeding.
