OP, see a doctor, that is the only answer you need. It's your head, it doesn't heal....

the hurt versus injured thing is huge with coaches, we had that sentiment when I coached. But you always made sure you had a trainer look at it, and if it was any kind of suspected head blow or neck pain we would pull them out of the game.
But we had far to many kids that were hurt but not injured and would ride those injuries.
I could do the in my day speech, where we would use a ton of athletic tape on ankles and knees, or in football you'd have fingers taped together because someone had stomped on your hand in the scrimmage and your fingers were at 90 degree angles to each other.
Or the time I went back to the bench after a scrimmage and the coach commented that my nose was punched into the side of my face and it looked like someone had shot me in the face with a can of red paint.
That's hurt.
Injured is far more different.
Don't mess with head injuries, I regret that I didn't take care of some of them until I suffered long term and short term effects.
(Migraines, forgetfulness, fuzzy vision at bad times, slight tremor in my right hand that was attributed to concussion injuries, poor concentration skills. I was even told that I have slow speech where it takes time for me to be able to verbalize thoughts.
Short terms, personality shift, irritability)
