Hi, I understand your concern and I'll try to help you. The pain of recurrent head after a head injury with concussion may be related to complications such as chronic subdural hematoma.

Chronic subdural hematoma is a late complication that occurs after 3 to 4 weeks after a head injury, which can lead to confusion, abnormal behavior, persistent headache, excessive sleepiness and even death. The treatment for this complication may even require a neurosurgical intervention.

The risk of life-threatening complications, it is important to seek the emergency room for an accurate diagnosis and to establish the most appropriate treatment for the case of his daughter.
