A member asked:

Is it normal to still have a headache 3 1/2 weeks after a concussion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: post concussion headaches may continue for several weeks or months after the incident. See a neurologist who can diagnose the specific type of headache and provide you with proper treatment.
