Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, yes you should get a review and CT scan for internal trauma may be needed.
In any case detailed neurological examination, pupils examination and X-ray skull will be needed minimally in the current circumstances which you shared.
Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be helpful for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
