Suggest Medication For Concussion After Being Hit On Head

My son recently hit his head at school and I believe may be suffering from a concussion. I took him to the emg but they advised me to continue to monitor. He is symptomatic of having a concussion and has now developed a rash on his arm. Should I be concerned? D

Hello,

The rash in the arm is not connected with the concussion, so, monitoring for a couple of weeks is sufficient.

A Dermatologist should evaluate it.

In most of the cases, there is no need for treatment for concussion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
