Hi! I had a tooth extraction 8 days ago and now, my blood clot may be gone... I'm not sure because I can't see very well into the extraction site. I don't really feel pain or anything though. I'm just wondering how long a blood clot generally needs to last after a tooth extraction. Any help would be really appreciated.

My friend said that sometimes whenever he is very busy especially when is trying to beat his work deadline he feels that an area at his lower head portion, at the left side, at the back & just about 1 - 2 inches above the uppermost portion of his neck feels very warm to a slight hot. He is wondering what could be the reason for that. He is working also with computers and because he has double vision lens eyeglasses (upper one for nearsighted & lower one for reading) he is always tilting up his head for a better focus in his reading. Now for about a month, he feels as if he has a stiff neck though not as painfull. He is afraid and thinking he has sort of brain blood clot although the doctor said it could only be due to fatigue and routine sleep head position. Please give your medical comments. What could these be ---blood clotting? Are the two cases related? What medication or therapy can possibly eliminate the symptom of feeling like a stiff neck?
