How is a concussion treated?
The choice of treatment for concussion must be based on the situation. In the majority of cases, symptomatic treatment combined with corresponding therapies is adopted. However, sometimes complications can occur and treatment depends on the patient's current state. The first step is to ensure adequate sleep; a concussion involves damage to some of the brain's neuronal cells and only with sufficient sleep can the functional recovery of these cells be relatively thorough, otherwise, there could be residual long-term effects. The second measure is to actively improve cerebral circulation and provide neuroprotective treatment. The third step involves providing the respective auxiliary treatments like controlling blood pressure, stabilizing blood sugar, and reducing blood lipids. Fourthly, if complications such as headaches and dizziness occur, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used to effectively reduce the likelihood of residual effects, so early treatment is very necessary.
