If he suffered his concussion 2 weeks ago, then he is well within a normal healing timeframe for a concussion. If he doesn't heal within about 6 weeks, then it starts to be considered post-concussion syndrome.

The symptoms are pretty similar, just with post-concussion syndrome they persist for longer than normal. Some people on this board have been having post-concussive symptoms for multiple years.
