Post injury headache: There are several headaches after head injury 1)at the site of the injury - subgaleal hemorrhage withblood under the galeaa fibrous covering under the scalp., 2)migraine headaches and 3) post concussive generalized headache. Likely means you have had a mild concussion. Take Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) for the pain. If it persists, see your doctor.
