Speech Therapy Concussion Treatment & Speech Therapy - A Few Thin

Concussion Treatment • Before treatment for the concussion is started the doctor will need to determine the extent of the damage to the brain. For this purpose, CT scans, and other tests might be conducted. The CT scans will help the doctor identify serious damage to the skull and to locate any internal bleeding or clogged veins. If there is no serious damage the doctor will recommend rest and some paracetamol for pain relief. • Refrain from Physical Activity • If you or your loved one has suffered a concussion without any serious damage, the treatment will include plenty of rest and avoid physical excursions like working out and exercising. This allows the brain to limit its activities and give it time to reduce inflammation in the brain. • Avoid Using your Phone • Another concussion treatment that a doctor recommends is to avoid using cellphones, computer, and watching television for long hours. Refrain from using any electronic devices when you are suffering from a concussion because they put stress on your brain.
