A member asked:

My child ran into a other kid playing hockey. he had a minor headache that cleared. does he have a concussion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Concussion is:: Head injury which causes loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or combination of both. Closed head trauma may or may not result in a concussion, so perhaps this is just a trivial head injury of no potential future consequence.
