Default Can Ritalin help for concussion? (I have ADHD)

I am about 1 month after my concussion so 4 weeks (is that still early in the recovery process?)

So one week I felt a lot better and the headaches got better and got my appetite back and then I got my headaches back but in a diffrent place than origanly it was on the top of the head now it's like in the temples and the sides of my forehead so maybe that could be something(I think my glasses needed to be updated so that could be something) and I kind of lost my appetite again but that could be from the stress and aniexty again which leads I my next question

So my question is that I read some where that Ritalin could be prescribed for a concussion and I have ADHD and was diagnosed when I was 6 and I started taken Ritalin from Kindergarten to 7th grade. So I was thinking about going back on Ritalin way before my concussion because I struggled with staying focused and almost failed a couple of classes In 9th grade..so I'm asking if I go back on for Ritalin for ADHD, could it also help me for my concussion like the mental part because it would get my mind on school and stuff..Ritalin helped me for ADHD so much so that's why I don't mind going back on it..

If no one knows about the Ritalin I understand but also could it be my glasses...

THANK YOU!
