HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If she has a persisting headache, she should see her doctor.
Headache is one of the criteria used to determine if a person needs imaging after a minor head injury.
The other criteria used are: vomiting, age older than 60,, drug or alcohol use, seizures, visible injury, short term memory loss.
These are called the new orleans criteria for CT scan after head injury
I hope this helps
