Go to closest A&E: Anything falling on body part can cause soreness but intermittent headache is worrisome for bleeding in brain, especially if change in function or level of consciousness, and/or accompanied by nausea & vomiting. Without any more details, most conservative recommendation is to get her to closest A&E for imaging & evaluation. While I don't want to be an alarmist, it's better safe than sorry.
