Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms are suggestive of occipital neuralgia. It could be related to the head trauma and the injury to this nerve, which lies in this region. It is not a serious medical condition.
I recommend taking indomethacine twice daily orally (if no contraindications) for a week.
If the pain persists, I recommend consulting with a neurologist.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
