Depending on the weight of the plank you can have superficial haematoma and concussion. It appears you did not had any symptoms of vomiting nausea dizziness or loss of consciousness. You can monitor your symptoms and use ice pack on the site. For medication you can try over the counter ibuprofen 200 three to four times a day. If gets no better then consult specialist.
