A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull. The signs and symptoms of a concussion can be subtle and may not show up immediately. Symptoms can last for days, weeks or even longer. Common symptoms after a concussive traumatic brain injury are headache, loss of memory (amnesia) and confusion. Other symptoms include a ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness or fatigue, and blurry vision. In terms of treatment, the most effective one is rest. Both physical and mental rest is crucial for recovery. This means avoiding activities that are physically demanding (e.g., sports, heavy lifting) and those requiring a lot of concentration or attention (e.g., using a computer, playing video games). As symptoms improve, the individual can gradually return to their usual routines. However, this should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional to avoid exacerbating symptoms. For headaches, over-the-counter pain relievers can be used, but it’s important to ask a physician if it’s safe to take these. Some medications may increase the risk of bleeding.
