Brief Answer:
Get a CT scan brain
Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,
I understand your concern.
In any case of head injury presenting with pain ,its always safe to have CT scan f the brain to rule out internal brain injury.
This becomes mandate especially when you have a flight travel near by.
Hence I recommend you to have a non contrast CT Brain .
If this comes out normal you need not worry.
Post your futher queries if any.
Thank you.
