[quote name='Brak']I'm think I have to make a doctor appointment to see if I have a concussion or not. My head
still ing hurts, I feel fatigued and overly tired.
I didn't think I hit my head
that hard, initially. But I must have, because I don't even remember when / where I did it -- I know I did it on my car, though. Right on my
in' temple.[/quote]
if you have a mild concussion, there's nothing they'll do for you. basically tell you to take some tylenol and put some ice on it.
From WebMD:
How is it treated?
Initial treatment for a concussion is to watch a person closely for any changes in behavior or for any new symptoms. Some people have to stay in the hospital to be watched while others can go home safely.
If you have any swelling, your doctor may recommend using cold packs to reduce the swelling. He or she may also prescribe a pain medicine or recommend a pain medicine that you can buy without a prescription such as acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol) or ibuprofen (for example, Advil or Motrin).
At home, rest is the best way to recover from a concussion. Get plenty of sleep at night and take it easy during the day. To prevent a second brain injury, avoid alcohol, illegal drugs, and any activities that could lead to another head injury for a few days or even a few weeks. Your doctor may also tell you not to drive or swim for a while.
Some people feel normal again in a few hours while others have symptoms for weeks or months. It is very important to allow yourself time to get better and to slowly return to your regular activities. It is also important to call your doctor if you are not improving as expected or if you think that you are getting worse instead of better.
