Yep, you should be fine. At this moment in time I don't think you have anything to worry about though if you start getting severe headaches/ dizziness/ feeling nauseas or vomitting/ suddenly very tired or faint for no known reason (don't fall to sleep) double vision/ feeling disorientated and/or confused then you do need to get checked out straight away which ideally would be at hospital or if you could get an appointment with your doctors straight away as an emergency type situation. And at this point I do not feel you've suffered long term damage. Typically each time you bang your head you do damage some brain cells but that is the same with everything really. The trouble becomes when it's more severe and could lead to a bleed in the brain (a brain haemorrhage) or 'bruising'/ swelling to it which is what causes the severe damage. If you get proper concussion you will know about it, trust me. If you ever 'lose time' or faint/ whatever after then you also need to get checked out straight away. If you have no-one to take you then call a taxi/ 999, public transport wouldn't be a good idea. Really though, each time you could do yourself more damage and it will swell a tiny bit each time and these could all add up to mean bigger problems.
