What Causes Headache And Slow Processing Speed Post Mild Concussion?

Our daughter suffered a mild concussion in soccer the beginning of September. Since then she has had more headaches (a couple a week) than she did before the injury and some forgetfulness that is not like her. When she was 3 months old she had endoscopic cranial surgery for sagittal synostosis. Since the concussion we did contact the surgeons office that did the cranial surgery and they said she should not be any different than anybody else. She thinks her response time is not as quick as before the concussion too (could this be a side effect too?) What would you recommend? Thank you.

Hi,
I went through your question.
Your doctor is right about the fact that your doughter is like every girl.

Never the less i think that you should inform your dr about the girl complaints (the frequency, intensity of headaches? About nausea, dizzines? Is the forgetfullnes persisting? Etc...)

If was her doctor i would have liked to visit her and may be consequently having radiological exam.
Feel free to ask for further information
I find this answer helpful
