Head sore after skiing fall.

I was skiing yesterday for my second time and I fell at quite a high speed on a beginner (blue slope).

I don't recall hitting my head off the ground but I did tumble a few times.

At first I just felt some pain in my arm and when I stood up my legs were shaking.

In the evening time I began to feel pain in the side of my head (basically the bone between the ear and eye).

It hurts a little if I yawn or when eating.

I was wearing a helmet.

Should I get this checked out? It is 30 hours after the incident.

    Could be just bruising and a bit of swelling in facial tissues but always wise to get a head injury checked out in case of bleeding

    It's 3 months since the fall and I haven't had it checked.

    I have had no symptoms so I assume it is fine to leave it?
