First have you seen the dr. Second if it has been more than 24 hrs you need to return to the emergency room now and if you havent see a physican yet you should do so now.. A concusion is nothing to mess around wiht. You can slip into a coma and not come back ie die.... GO to thE DR. Also you should be watched by a responsible adult for the first 24 hrs after this has occured.. they need to wake you every two hrs to make sure your still with us... TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF...

Could be the flu.  Take tylenol for your fever and a decongestant (sudafed, for example) to clear out your head.  Just like they always tell you: plenty of fluids to clear out your system, a big dose of vitamin C couldn't hurt, either.  SLEEP.  If you're young, take advantage of sick days from school.  If you're not, doctor yourself up as my mom used to say, and deal with it.  Get a cute friend to make you some chicken soup.

beside massaging the scalp, neck, forehead and a bath ..\nI suggest:\n\nAvoid bright light.\n\nAvoid loud noises.\n\nDrink plenty of water.\n\nTry Excedrin Migraine formula (which is just a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine, but it works better for me than any of the heavy-duty prescription drugs I've tried in the past).\n\nIf sleeping isn't an option due to the pain, go for even more caffeine. I recommend hot coffee or espresso, no sugar.\n\nRed Bull either makes everything somewhat better or much, much worse. Some people swear by it, though.\n\nA doctor once recommended filling the kitchen sink with hot water and then submerging my arms up to elbows for as long as I could stand it. This is only effective for me before the headache gets bad, but when it works, it works like magic. I don't know why.\n\nBaths seem to help, although showers are effective, too.\n\nMassaging the points mentioned is good - but it works much better if you can get someone else to do it so you can relax your neck muscles more.\n\nDo NOT watch the movie Pi\nMy grandma swears by this stuff called BC. You can find it at Publix - its usually on the bottom shelf under all the asprins, etc. Its a plain looking white box with blue trim.. It just says BC on the box then Fast Pain Relief.\n\nMy cousins wife get serious migranes and last time she was in Florida - she didn't have her medication. she got a real bad migrane and my grandma gave her this stuff - and it worked. Its old skool.. this stuff was created in 1906.\n\nIts powder form so you can mix it with anything.. its tasteless.\n\nIf grandma says it works, then it works.\n\nHere's their website so you can see what the box looks like. I think its real cheap too like $3 or $4 bucks:\ni hope i solved your problem especially with the last one

First get off the computer, it hurts your eyes and give you a worse headache. Put a warm washcloth on your forehead, and try to fall asleep. Take a Tylenol or and Excedrine. I usually take a warm to hot bath when I have a headache. It usually helps. I hope you get well soon. Good Luck! If you have any questions, answer one of my questions.

You probably suffered a concussion.  Please see a doctor to be sure.  At the very least, he/she will give you something stronger for your headaches.  If you do have a concussion, the headaches can last for quite sometime.  You  need to be checked out to be sure that you don't also have a slow bleed.

Try tennis balls in a sock and roll on them as described in the post about the basketball. It might help to loosen things up. \nOR ice and heat. \nOR neck patches or icyhot. \nOr a hot Epsom salt bath. \nStretch gently. \nRest your head on a wall often, especially when in class or working on the computer for long periods of time.

get a towel and run it under cold water, after about 20-30 seconds fold it in half and place it over your forehead, that should ease some of the headache, also take some Tylenol or ibuprofen, theres nothing that can help the vomitting to much, if your throwing up its usually because your body is trying to purge your stomache of something that doesn't belong there

Go to a doctor. Concussions symptoms sometime don't appear immediately. Go to a doctor and make sure everything is ok. After my car accident, my doctor told me that if within a month I get symptoms like headaches and nausia, I should immedietly go back to him.

pull allnighters, take lots of caffeine, kill the tv and computer and phone, and most importantly take aderol or some equivalent anti-ADD (attention deficit disorder) prescription drug ---this stuff makes ur brain a sponge. oh and don't forget to use study guides and your notes/textbook.

1) Yes, a person can die from a concussion. Note, though, that contrary to folklore, you cannot keep a person from losing consciousness due to concussion. Telling a concussion victim not to go to sleep is like telling a seizure victim not to shake. You can't stop them and they can't stop themselves.\n\n2) A concussion is simply defined as any head injury which results in an altered level of consciousness. This altered level can be as simple as seeing stars or getting your bell rung, or it can be as life threatening as an intra cranial bleed with coma, seizures and even death.\n\nA concussion is caused when physical trauma causes the brain, which floats in a very thin layer of fluids, to impact the inside of the cranium.

http://www.realmilk.org\n\nBook: "You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Crazy, or Stupid?"\n\nhttp://www.acresusa.com (do some browsing there)\n\nAlso, there are some methods used for mild brain injuries that also help train the brain to do things differently and wake up different sections of the brain. Look for books on MTBI (mild traumatic brain injury).

You can try turning off the lights, if it is possible.  Often the major culprit of headaches is light.  Also try massaging your temples, starting lightly and gradually applying more pressure.  Drink a lot of water.  Don't drink anything with caffeine or sugar, as they can make a headache much worse.
