It's not clear to me whether the school doctor or a pediatrician or a physician who specializes in head injuries is treating your son. You may want to consider having him seen by a pediatric neurologist is the symptoms persist for a long time.
Since the Motrin has not relieved the symptoms and the severe headaches continue to persist, you need to contact your son's doctor for advice on next steps as soon as possible. You should not be afraid to contact the doctor's office, they want your son to have good care too and unless they hear from you they are going to assume that everything is going well. Let us know what happens when you have a chance - we know you are worried and concerned.
