A member asked:
Can i drink a root beer if im recovering from a concussion? im currently on week 3 since it happened?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Root beer is non-alcoholic so, yes, there should be no difficulty drinking root beer while recovering from a concussion. The carbonation also should not cause any further injury to the brain. If diabetic, sugar-free is an option. Best of luck to you!

Do not worry, as a prior concussion does not prohibit normal ingestion of soft drinks or normal dietary intake.

Any carbonated soda is good, but sugar free is better. Consult your treating doctor for anything you want to eat or drink. Also for anything in your lifestyle you can or can not do.
