What to do if you have a concussion

Head injuries can easily cause concussions. Usually, you should pay attention to changes in the condition after the injury. It is recommended that patients rest in bed for a while. During this period, try to avoid watching TV and reading, keep the environment quiet, and avoid stimulation to the brain.

(1) The patient’s condition should be closely observed for a certain period of time after injury . Patients diagnosed with concussion are required to be hospitalized for observation for 1 to 2 weeks to avoid delayed intracranial hematoma, which will delay treatment.

(3) Patients should reduce mental work, think as little as possible, avoid watching TV, and avoid reading long articles. In their spare time, they can enjoy beautiful and peaceful music to relax their minds.
