Had Injured Head 3 Years Back. Has Pain In The Area. Possible Blood Clot?
Hi Doctor, My mother met with an accident 3 years back . She got injured in her right side of the head and they made 2 striches. We checked in the CT scan a week later and they said no sign of blood clot. But now for past 3 weeks she feel pain in that area where injured. Is it any possibility that bllod will clot after 3 years in brain? Thanks Naveen

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, let me reassure you that your mother would not develop a blood clot in the brain, three years after a head injury.
The current pain is unrelated to the accident earlier.
She can take pain killers such as ibuprofen tablets now. If symptoms persist, please get her checked by a doctor.
Best wishes,
