You should check p->head isn't NULL before trying to do p=p->head->next
What are these for?
Code:
typedef struct monomial_node /* a monomial denotes a monomial P_{i,k}^{l} \cdots P_{i',k'}^{l'} */
{
node y;
int coeff; /* coeff is the coefficent of the monomial */
struct monomial_node *next;
struct monomial_node *head;
} monomial_node, *monomial;
typedef struct polynomial_node /* a polynomial denotes a sum of some monomials */
{
monomial m;
struct polynomial_node *next;
struct polynomial_node *head;
} polynomial_node, *polynomial;
If you've got say 5x^2+10x+20, then you have 3 polynomial nodes, where each instance of the 'm' member is initialised to 5x^2, 10x and 20
I would also re-think the idea of storing a head pointer in each node. If you delete the head node of a list, you have to change the entire list to point to the new head node (of the list).

Draw out some pictures so you're clear on paper exactly what is stored in a node, and how all the pointers are arranged.
