Patient's question:
Riding motorcycles with friends in the wilderness, I didn't expect the road to be so bad and ended up falling. My head hit the tree beside the road, but there was no damage. However, I've been feeling dizzy and suspect a mild concussion. What kind of medicine is needed for a concussion?Doctor's answer:
The medication for concussions is primarily used to alleviate symptoms such as recurring dizziness and headaches, providing symptomatic treatment. Additionally, drugs that stabilize blood circulation and nourish nerves can be used to repair damaged brain tissue. However, after suffering a concussion, even if there is no visible damage, it is generally necessary to stay in the hospital for a short period of 2–3 days for close observation. This is because it is essential to monitor changes in consciousness, pupils, and vital signs to promptly detect the possibility of a delayed intracranial hematoma involving secondary neurons.
