When you get a concussion and it’s dangerous to go to sleep, what do doctors do to cure it?

735 views

Okay so I just whacked the back of my head on the underside of a bunk bed and then started to think about concussion.

I’ve heard horror stories of people banging their head, going to sleep and never waking up again.

What would doctors do? Do they just not let you sleep?

You can’t cure concussion. It gets better by itself, slowly. We don’t stop people sleeping, that’s a myth. If it’s bad we will do regular neurological tests which might involve periodically waking you up.
