Concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that usually happens after a blow to the head. It can also occur with violent shaking and movement of the head or body. You don&#8217;t have to lose consciousness to get a concussion or post-concussion syndrome. In fact, the risk of post-concussion syndrome doesn&#8217;t appear to be associated with the severity of the initial injury.\u00a0<\/p><p>In most people, symptoms occur within the first seven to 10 days and go away within three months. Sometimes, they can persist for a year or more.<\/p><p>Medications and physiotherapy and behavioral therapy may be used, and individuals can be educated about symptoms and provided with the
