Can Headache And Pain In The Neck Be Symptoms Of Having Concussion?

I played in a soccer game yesterday morning and got headed in the back of my head by another girl. I have had small headaches towards the back of my head and like pain down towards my neck. Now my ears feel like they re plugged (I don t know if that has anything to do with it), but do I have a concussion?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and would like to reassure you that they are not suggestive of severe head injury.

The symptoms of headache, neck pain and ear plugging may be related to concussion.

The symptoms would get better on their own in a few days. For pain relief, you may take diclofenac or ibuprofen tablets.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
