A concussion is considered a mild traumatic brain injury. One of the most common reasons both children and adults sustain concussions is because of contact sports, although they frequently occur after a car accident as well.

For the majority of people, a headache is the most frequently experienced symptom, and most of the symptoms start to get better on their own within 14 to 21 days.
