Concussion: Concussions are unfortunately becoming more common in sports. Depending on his age and athleticism, he may get a concussion from a head injury during a sport activity. It would be best to have him evaluated by his physician for a concussion. Sometimes with a concussion, the only complaint that the patient states is a headache.
