Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

CT scan of head is enough to rule out any head injury. So be relaxed , there is no need of any MRI scan.Also for fracture collor bone you need not to worry to much.It will unite in 2-3 weeks with simple rest . Continue giving her P-125 syrup for pain control.

I hope this is helpful to you.Let me know if you need further assistance
