Skull Traums: It’s difficult to answer this question because I don’t know what you mean by spasm or what kind of school trauma you had. If you did not have a skull fracture or lose consciousness it is unlikely that this was a serious injury and most likely your symptoms will resolve. There is no medication for this.

Post traumatic : Head trauma can cause variety of post traumatic headaches. Medication may be of value. Neurologists can help decide effective treatment directions. Get proactive and overcome lingering issues

No cause for concern: In three months everything has healed. I recall you had no fractures and normal scans. The muscular layer covering the skull may contain some scars from any direct blows which can be a focus of an occasional spasm particularly if you are tired. These aren't dangerous and will fade over time. Your skull is NOT deformed. The tightness is tension in that muscle layer that can be aggravated by stress.
