• Headaches

My husband had a concussion on 10/5 and has not been able to get a follow up appointment until 12/6. Is there I need to do to help him?
Besides giving him ibuprofen for pain?

He should get better with time. He may need another Head CT at one point. but overall, he should be back to normal in 3-6 months, keep me posted.

Heat or cold can help some people. CBD creams or ointments topically may help as can other topical products like: Biofreeze, icy hot, Ben Gay. Sleep deprivation is likely to make the pain worse.

Unfortunately, there is still no proven treatment to fix a concussion. There are a few that help symptoms, and might speed up the recovery of symptoms a bit. Those are best discussed with the neurologist at the upcoming December visit.
