Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Normal CT scan of the brain rules out any serious internal brain problem.
As of now, you can give her diclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, please get her checked by a neurologist.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
