Possibly: What you describe are consistent with post concussion headaches. These can continue for weeks to months. Consult with the doctor who treated you initially since there are ways of managing the headaches.

Skull fracture: Bleeding from the ear is worrisome for temporal bone fracture, ct with fine cuts through the skull base may be helpful to assess the extent of the injury.
