hi there,
I am Dr. Deepak, I work in Emergency department, where I see many of my patient with head injury. You have mentioned that you sustained minor concussion on 25th of Aug. Now you are free from all symptoms. Your concern is regarding when you can go out to play football.
It is advised that you should take rest for minimum of 1 week, following any type of concussion. As you have mentioned you are free from all the symptoms and feeling absolutely fine. Yes, you can go back to football on first week of minor concussion.
Thank you.
I hope your concern was dealt with.
