Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
CT imaging is required in case of severe injury leading to loss of consciousness, seizures, bleeding via ear or nose, weakness.
Late CT is indicated if gradual increase in headache, weakness or drowsiness occurs.

You can continue medications for headache. Dose may be increased if needed.
