No limit: There is not a limit in how long you can have caffeine after a concussion. Sometimes people with a head injury may have trouble sleeping, in such a case, avoid caffeine so that you can rest more easily.

No specific time: Since concussion can cause fatigue and difficulty paying attention, a judicious use of caffeine may help.
