Are Headaches And Hyperosmia Common Side Effects Of A Concussion?
I was I was diagnosed with a concussion 2 weeks ago. Since then I’ve had a very painful headache and my sense of smell is extremely heightened, feeding into those headaches. I also have to wear ear plugs because sounds are intense as well. Is this normal after a concussion or should I seek additional medical care?

Hello!
Your symptoms are quite normal after a head concussion.
I would just recommend having some rest and avoiding straining physical activity of any possible repeated trauma in the next days.
If your situation does not get better, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and a brain MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
