Hi,
based ion the details you have given your friend is having post traumatic mild sub arachnoid haemorrhage which is producing headache

She requires short course of steroids for relief of headache secondary to chemical meningitis

Also naprosyn 250 mg whenever severe headache

Flunnarzine 5 mg at bed time,for next 2 weeks

She will be al right with medicine .It takes few days for complete recovery.However if she is symptomatic by 10 days or more CT scan to be repeated and consult Neurolgist

Hope this will help you
