Dealing with Concussion Symptoms
October 2026
Concussions are caused by moderate to severe head trauma. Motor vehicle collisions can result in concussions due to the forces placed on a person's head. A car wreck can place forces on the brain moving it from side to side and backwards and forwards. If concussion symptoms last beyond three weeks, a doctor may make a diagnosis of post-concussion syndrome. Post-concussion syndrome can be a permanent diagnosis leading to a lifetime of pain and suffering.
At the present time, there is no cure for post-concussion syndrome. To deal with the symptoms, a doctor may recommend rest and the avoidance of stressful activity. Pain-relievers are commonly prescribed to deal with the continuing headaches. Recommendations are often made to avoid bright lights and loud noises. Many times are recommendation is made to limit screen time.
