Hi,
Headache could be due to soft tissue swelling. In order to rule out any concussion or hemorrhage, CT scan is essential. Immediately consult the doctor in case of severe headache, vomiting, convulsions, nasal or ear bleeding or watery discharge.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
