In the past, concussions were commonly graded on a scale according to severity and neurologists may do further testing to grade a concussion’s severity. After the accident, the athlete will complain of the same symptoms and exhibit the signs associated with Grade 2 concussion, such as dizziness, nausea, irritability and confusion, and will sustain these signs of concussion for more than 15 minutes. Treatment is directed at symptom control for headaches, nausea, dizziness, and insomnia. Concussions can be tricky to diagnose.
If your child has symptoms in school, they may need to stay home until they feel better. If you are unconscious, then as a precaution it is recommended to assume that you have a serious neck or spinal injury until proved otherwise.
