you never give anyone pain medication when they have a suspected head injury,check his pupils ans see if there both the same size if not take him in to the hospital.

make sure that where he was hit, that the "bump" goes OUT, making a bump to the outside, and not inside. Also, see if one pupil is dilated, and the other pinpoint....if so, then he has a concussion. Do NOT let him go to sleep .......it does sound like he should see a doctor or have a visit to the Emergency Room to make sure that no serious damage was done.....

be careful!!! It might be best to just see a doctor. Concussions are serious and can be fatal
Otherwise, just keep an eye on him every now and then, if he becomes slurry to simple things, or he has serious swelling, emergency room time!

You might want to take him to the doctor. Also, tell him to blink. If one pupal is bigger than the other, then it could be a concussion.
Hope that helps!
