Hagen was taking the ball upfield, and one of our offensive midfielders (big kid, played linebacker in football) hit him really hard. At first he seemed fine, but when we were going over our defenses he was nodding off, so finally he went to go sit down. He puked, and eventually his mom and dad had to come pick him up since he wasn't good to drive.

Concussions range in severity from mild to severe, but they all share one common factor — they temporarily interfere with the way your brain works. They can affect memory, judgment, reflexes, speech, balance and coordination.

Usually caused by a blow to the head, concussions don't always involve a loss of consciousness. In fact, most people who have concussions never black out. Many people have had concussions and not realized it.

Concussions are common, particularly if you play a contact sport like football. But every concussion, no matter how mild, injures your brain. This injury needs time and rest to heal properly. Luckily, most concussions are mild and people usually recover fully.

Signs and symptoms

The signs and symptoms of a concussion can be subtle and may not appear immediately. Symptoms can last for days, weeks or longer.

The two most common concussion symptoms are confusion and amnesia. The amnesia, which may or may not be preceded by a loss of consciousness, almost always involves the loss of memory of the impact that caused the concussion.

Other immediate signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:

    * Headache
    * Dizziness
    * Ringing in the ears
    * Nausea or vomiting
    * Slurred speech

Some symptoms of concussions don't appear until hours or days later. They include:

    * Mood and cognitive disturbances
    * Sensitivity to light and noise
    * Sleep disturbances

Head trauma is very common in young children. But concussions can be difficult to recognize in infants and toddlers because they can't readily communicate how they feel. Nonverbal clues of a concussion may include:

    * Listlessness, tiring easily
    * Irritability, crankiness
    * Change in eating or sleeping patterns
    * Lack of interest in favorite toys
    * Loss of balance, unsteady walking

Treatment

Rest is the best recovery technique. Healing takes time. For headaches, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) can be used. Avoid aspirin, as it can increase the risk of bleeding.

[Joe]

I'm not a doctor, but I wouldn't recommend drinking too many caffeinated beverages right after having a concussion.

Yeah, raising your heart rate probably isn't the best bet.
