What to Do Concussion

If you think you or someone you know has a concussion, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Concussions can be serious, and it is important to rule out any other more serious head injuries.

Here are some things you can do while waiting for medical help to arrive:

1) Stay calm and try to remain still.

2) Gently wake up the injured person if they are unconscious.

3) Loosen tight clothing around their neck and chest.

4) Monitor the person's breathing. If it becomes slow, irregular, or stops, roll the injured person onto their side and provide rescue breathing.

5) Check for signs of shock. These include pale, clammy skin, a weak pulse, and rapid breathing. If the injured person is in shock, elevate their legs slightly.

6) Place a cold compress on the person's forehead to reduce swelling.

7) Do not give the injured person any food or drink.

8) If the person is vomiting, roll them onto their side and clear their mouth and airway.

9) If the injured person falls asleep, wake them up every few hours to check their condition and make sure they are still breathing.

It is important to remember that a concussion can have long-term effects, so it is important to follow up with a healthcare professional after your symptoms have resolved.
