What can i do to speed up recovery from my concussion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on symptoms: After a concussion, you want to avoid activities which may exacerbate the concussion. In particular, you want to avoid activities where you may hit your head again. Frequently, this is discussed in the context of contact sports. Repeated head injuries or concussions in a short period of time can have cumulative effects. For example, mohamed ali. Also, you want to avoid alcohol or recreatonal drugs.
