There has been an increased focus in the media about the dangers of concussions, particularly, the long-term consequences of multiple concussions. You may have questions such as: - What are the symptoms of a concussion?
- When should I seek medical help?
- How are concussions treated?
- When it is okay for a child to return to normal activities?
This article may help you get answers to some of these questions. A child who has suffered a concussion, may also struggle with school work. A brain injury can affect memory and the ability to focus. Knowing what to expect can help your child cope with his or her recovery.
