An Overview of Concussion
Treatment
• Rest is the best way to treat the concussion if the doctor diagnosis a minor
concussion. You have to avoid physical activity that can put a strain on the
injury. Avoid stress and try to stay calm mentally to avoid worsening the
symptoms. Essentially the doctor might recommend avoiding sports and
workouts.
• Reduce thinking and stressing out over different issues. Avoid spending too much
time on a mobile phone, television and a computer. If you need some time off
work or school then it’s recommended to take a few days off. When the
symptoms start to wear off, the doctor might suggest light exercise like a walk.
Once all the signs of a concussion are gone, the doctor might recommend that
you consider a minor workout, try reading a book and avoid mobile phone and
computers as much as possible.
• If you have headaches and nausea, talk to your doctor. You might need
medications for concussion treatment to help with headaches, dizziness, and
nausea. Paracetamol might be used to help with the sharp headaches. Avoid
using aspirin and ibuprofen as they can lead to bleeding.
