24. Thinking has changed on sleep after a concussion.

Sleep is a natural result of a concussion and should be allowed. The person should be awakened every few hours to be sure symptoms are not worsening.

Concussion Treatment

Generally no medical treatment is prescribed to treat concussions. The more home-based treatment of concussion are as follows:

Rest

Plenty of sleep

Healthy food

Painkillers to relieve headaches

Admission to hospital for close monitoring is needed in severe cases

Antidepressants, if really needed
