As I said, there is no tried and true ways to treat head aches. There is no rhyme or reason as to when and why they come and go for many people.

I would suggest not pushing until they become uncomfortable. If they are just annoying, he is probably OK.

The Buffalo protocol suggests to stop pushing at the first sign of a head ache and reducing effort the next time around to avoid causing a head ache/return of symptoms. But, this is regarding exercise.

You need to understand one simple concept.

If you have seen one head injury, you have seen ONE head injury.

Every concussion is different. They may have the same or similar symptoms but it is very difficult to compare treatments, timelines and outcomes between concussions. The statistics are just that. Numbers crunched after observing hundreds of concussions.

If he pushes through his head aches, chances are it will take longer to recover from them. But, he may also develop a tolerance for the discomfort.

So, Mom, you needs to sit back and be supportive knowing you can not fix this. I know moms want to fix what ails their children. The best you can do is consider how to reduce his risks in the future. Please keep in mind that his next concussion may cause cognitive deficits. I dropped a full grade point as a high school sophomore from a very minor concussion heading the ball playing soccer. I had 3 prior concussions. One serious, 2 mild. A mild concussion my second semester in college caused me to drop out. Negative personality changes are also common. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just trying to give you a dose of the reality of concussions. He is young and has lots of life ahead.

You can help with good brain nutrition. There is a sticky at the top called Vitamins. Check post number 101 on Nov 8th. I have updated the information. I'll make it easy. here is a link to it. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread181974-11.html

My best to you both.
