Several weeks: In general, the symptoms of a concussion may take up to 6 weeks to go away. The symptoms are varied and include headache, clouded mentation, nausea/vomiting, ringing in the ears, dizziness, fatigue, to name a few. If there is not improvement after about 6 weeks, your physician may get a ct or MRI scan of the brain to make certain that there isn't a structural problem like a subdural hematoma.
