I wanted to add one more thing about headache relief. My son also found that a cold facecloth gave him a little relief like your son. Tylenol and Advil did not work either for my son. I think because the concussion headaches are so different from traditional headaches it's a tough thing to find much relief.

The doctor eventually put him on amitriptyline for a month but found no relief. Really at the end of the day it was resting in a darkened room with a cold face cloth. It did not take the pain away but it was the only thing that calmed him. I would also rub his back too. As a mother, it's so tough to see your child in pain and we want to do anything to help them!
