HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to consider having yourself checked out by your doctor.
There are different criteria that are used to determine if a person needs imaging after head injury. One of these criteria is the presence of a headache. Since you are still experiencing pain, your doctor may consider an imaging tests to rule out any problems.
I hope this helps
