Default 4 weeks after concession

Hi,

My son (15 years old) got concussion 4 weeks about during soccer game at school. Just wanted to kick the ball with his head and didn't do it properly.

He didn't know he had a concussion.The headache started right away, he took advil and continue going to school for two days. Advil never helped. He just had headache all the time.

After two days he told us about what happened and I took him to the doctor next morning. ( Day 3). Doctor didn't do any tests and told us to rest at least for 2 weeks.

He rested all the time ( except of one evening shed he insisted to go to school winter orchestra concert and played clarinet for 20 minutes. His headaches were not severe.

After tree weeks the headaches didn't go away. I took him to the doctor again. And he told me the same. Rest and absolutely not to go back to school with headaches.

Now it's 4 weeks. Last two days he had migraines that are worse that before. He is sad an depressed.

I think I should see another doctor. Should I insist on MRI or something else? I don't know what can I do to make him better.

Thank you for reading it. I am really desperate...
