How to relieve mild concussion

A head hit often leads to a concussion. If it is a mild concussion, you should also pay attention to it and go to the hospital for examination in time. In addition, it is best to stay in bed and rest in the early stage of the disease, and maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude. If you have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, you should seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor in time to avoid worsening of the condition. Let's learn how to relieve mild concussion?

How to relieve mild concussion

First of all, if you have a concussion, you should pay close attention to your own movements and the development of your condition. Normally, patients with concussion need to be observed in the hospital for one or two weeks. If it is determined that there is no brain edema, they can be discharged from the hospital. This is to avoid the occurrence of brain edema without timely detection and treatment, which will cause greater harm to the patient. So patients should pay close attention to their condition.

Then, patients with mild concussion need to rest in bed for 7-14 days. In addition, patients with concussion need to be in a relatively quiet environment and not in a noisy environment, otherwise it will easily stimulate the patient's brain and aggravate the condition. In addition, patients with mild concussion must rest quietly and should not over-fatigue their brains. They should not read novels, think about problems, watch TV or play computer games. They should listen to soothing music, such as light music, so that the patient's mind can relax.

Secondly, the patient needs a suitable place to rest, such as a place with soft lighting, clean and quiet environment, and appropriate temperature. At the same time, the patient cannot walk around and should let the brain rest well to prevent the patient from suffering harm due to excessive intracranial pressure.

What are the symptoms of a mild concussion?

Speaking of mild concussion, I believe many people know about it, but there are also people who don’t know much about the symptoms of mild concussion. Let me introduce to you some symptoms of mild concussion below, hoping to give you a deeper understanding of mild concussion.

The first are transient brainstem symptoms. When the head is hit by external force, the body will become confused and unconscious or completely comatose, but usually it will not exceed half an hour. In addition, patients with mild concussion may also have pale complexion, low blood pressure, shallow and slow breathing, and various slow physiological reflexes.

Then there is retrograde amnesia. When the patient regains consciousness, he or she may not remember what happened at the time of the injury, or even what happened in the period before the injury. Moreover, the more severe the concussion and the longer the primary coma, the more obvious the symptom of recent amnesia becomes, while the person remembers past events more clearly. This may be related to damage to the hippocampus.
