Too soon: Repeat injuries can lead to permanent brain damage. Baseline concussion testing may be helpful if you intended to continue high impact sports.

Depends: The effects of concussions can vary and be unpredictable. It depends on the severity of the injury. The best thing is to give your brain complete rest. The more strain you place on your brain while it is attempting to heal, the more likely it is to slow down the healing process. You should not return to your regular physical activities until your are completely symptom free and back to normal.
