as you have headache after truma but there is no focal deficit as no motor weakness or sensory loss or no nausea or vomiting, so donot worry, you caln take pain killer for headache, it will relieve after some time , but if headache is increasing in intensity then you can go for noncontrast CT scan brain to look for subdural or epidural hematoma
