Brief Answer:
Need not worry further,Simple analgesics are enough
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Good to have you on this health portal.
A normal CT scan literally rules out internal brain injury with high degree of accuracy
after injury to head with a ball.So you need not worry much.
The probable cause of persistent headache in your case might be impact post trauma causing mild soft tissue blunt trauma.
This headache will resolve in few days time spontaneously.
I recommend analgesics like Ibuprofen 600 mg twice a day for 3 days for effective pain control.This is all sufficient.
Please note this medication has to be taken only in presence of strict medical prescription of your local available doctor.
Thank you.
