Tips for Recovering From Head Trauma

A concussion is considered to be a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is usually caused by a jolt, blow, or bump to any area of the head. Although in most cases this type of injury is mild, some of the effects can become serious if they are not taken care of properly. Here are some tips to help you recover:

• Get plenty of rest throughout the day and enough sleep at night.
• Avoid physically and mentally demanding activities.
• Don’t drive or operate machinery until you get the okay from your doctor.
• Stay away from alcohol and other drugs until you recover completely.
• Let your doctor know about any unusual symptoms.
