What about concussion headaches?

Headache is one of the most common clinical symptoms of concussion. The main treatment is rest, usually at least 5 to 7 days. Patients with obvious headache can be given oral painkillers, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and other painkillers. If the drug treatment is poor, early hyperbaric oxygen treatment can be used to help recover headache. In addition, in the early stage of injury, we must be alert to whether there is a possibility of delayed intracranial hemorrhage, because the head CT is negative in the early stage of concussion, but there may be delayed intracranial hemorrhage within 72 hours. Generally, the head needs at least 72 hours to review the head CT without abnormal findings before the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage can be ruled out. Therefore, patients with concussion later show headache, need to be alert to the possibility of delayed intracranial hemorrhage.
