Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Concussion injury may cause internal hemorrhage or concussional injury.
The injury to brain tissue leads to seizures. Antiepileptic medications needs to be continued. Brain MRI and EEG should be done.
