Concussion is the mildest form of closed head injury. It can occur alone or in combination with other brain injuries such as cerebral contusion or intracranial hematoma.

However, he can clearly recall things in the past. In addition, concussion patients often complain of headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting after waking up, but these symptoms are generally mild and will not cause the injured to become restless.

Concussions can heal on their own. You should pay attention to changes in your condition within a few days after the injury. Generally, bed rest for about 10 days is sufficient. You can also choose some sedatives and analgesics to relieve symptoms such as headaches and dizziness.
