Hello
Brain CT scan findings are absolutely benign.
There is only soft tissue swelling noted in left temporal region,it is trauma related and it will resolve with time.You may need analgesics only.
It is good that brain parenchyma are absolutely normal.
There are signs of sinusitis in maxillary and ethmoid sinus.Sinusitis treatment is both conservative and surgical.Treatment can be planned after consulting ENT specialist.
Get well soon.
