Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Most cases of mild traumatic brain injuries, or concussion require no treatment other than rest and use of over the counter drugs (ibuprofen, paracetamol, omeprazole) to treat headaches and nausea.

Monitoring of the person that sustained traumatic brain injury at home for any persistent, worsening or new symptoms.

Supplements of vitamins B group also may be useful in restoring brain functions faster.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
