During the first week or until symptoms are gone, doctors recommend rest. To date, no one has found a medication that can help cure a concussion. However, your doctor may prescribe medications for some symptoms such as headache.
If symptoms persist beyond one week, and especially, beyond three weeks, it is wise to seek treatment from your doctor or a specialized concussion clinic. There are various treatments for some of the persistent symptoms of concussion. There are also treatments available for some of the problems that occasionally accompany post concussion syndrome, such as depression.
