A member asked:

Hit head on persons head 5 days ago, dr exam ok- mild headache/sore only symptom didn't pass out. is past frame to worry anything serious will happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine: Post-concussion syndrome can include headache, blurry vision, memory troubles, and nausea. Usually it will go away within a few days. See your doctor if these symptoms persist for more than a week. Avoid any contact sport or any potential head injury for at least a week after your symptoms have completely resolved. Go to the ER if you have persistent vomiting or decreased level of consciousness.
