How to care for a concussion at home?

Are you feeling like your brain is scrambled eggs after hitting your head? Worry no more! We’ve got you covered with this hilarious guide on how to care for a concussion at home. Don’t let the fear of being confused fool you, because following these easy steps and tips will have you back to your quirky humor in no time.

What is a Concussion?

Before we dive into the absurdity (and laughter) that is this home care guide, let’s get serious for just one paragraph. Bear with us. A concussion occurs when someone sustains an injury or blow to the head, causing their brain to move inside their skull. This movement can lead to varying degrees of damage and symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, and mood changes. It’s important not to ignore any post-injury discomforts as it could indicate something more severe than expected – which means potential disasters like involuntary fits of crying during Parks and Recreation or laughing hysterically during violent movies!

The Dos When Caring For Yourself or Someone With a Concussion

Just sit tight, everyone; we heard it right – “caring” while chuckles bug out simultaneously?! Yes indeed folks life has merged peculiarly well here; so sit tight because HELP IS HERE! And by help we mean “do’s” while dealing with one having concussion (it only gets better from here). So stay alert my buds!

1 – Rest Up Your Mind But… Not Too Much!

As fancy-smancy doctors recommend doing nothing except lying down in bed all day long after experiencing mild head trauma… take our advice instead! If need be then okay rest up,but don’t make binge-watching Dawson’s Creek whoop you off onto another level altogether (guilty pleasure much?). Nowadays where restrictions over physical activity are imposed frequently by the doctors, we strongly suggest you take it easy when it comes to physical activity.

2 – Shut Out Them Lights

As much as we love the ease of technology, this is one time that going off-the-grid might be in your best interest. Having a concussion often means being extra sensitive to light and sounds. Make sure you turn down bright lights at home – stick with natural sunlight or warm lamp lighting (unless they start making inappropriate jokes – life goes on!). Silence around them paired with cozy blankets and oodsmof rest will help regain their strength back.

3 – Follow The Rules Of Beverages: Drink Up!

Tough times call for something pleasurable… Now heavily filtered images from Instagram showing #coffeedate or hot cocoa may look tempting but nows not the time to indulge; they can actually interfere with healing progress (sad emoji). On the other hand dehydration could be critical while dealing with a concussion so grape juice or H20 are definitely fine choices (hey who says vineyards aren’t therapeutic!) Get yourself some nutritional sustenance too if symptoms don’t go away soon enough.

Don’ts When Caring For Yourself Or Someone With A Concussion

Hey there victim-turned-caregiver here’s what you definitely SHOULD NOT do while catering to someone post-concussion:

Dead Set Against Alcohol & Smoking

Not only does alcohol impair judgment just like signs of concussions manifest within victims; indulging in smoking cigarettes also can hurt the body’s tendency towards repairing cells sustainably during recovery-phase – easy-going conduct until there’re no more issues makes ZERO sense. Quit cold-turkey punk.

Heavily Loaded Issues

Careful scheduling after suffering head trauma: Take care whilst managing any challenging discussions henceforth because specific memory problems related regularly lead current contexts into misted shadows.

No problem-o my friend,before thinking ill-impressive thoughts concerning this condition – It is normal! Amnesia related problems are frequent in relation to concussions, so make sure you plan things and those plans seem reasonable without overwhelming the victim.

Watching Out For Intensification Of Symptoms

If there’s a sudden change or increase in any symptoms they may be cause for concern – call your physician right away.

Concussion Recovery Timeline: Tips & Tricks

It’s not just about getting through one day after another but actively participating to clear off daily obstacles after experiencing minor head-injuries; here’s how:

The First Few Days

All jokes aside folks, initial 3-5 days post-concussion needs to be handled with delicate care as it sets the tempo of recovery down the line. Different people react differently – while some face more intense auditory & visual stimuli, others can’t bear any external commotion at all. But fret not champ- because regardless what kind of challenges comes with sugar-coated humor by its side!

During overwhelming circumstances such as these the “take it slow” approachis highly recommended until mind starts working hafl-way decently again (which could take three wholeeee weeks – no kidding) So patrons have patience!!

From Week Two To Six

As heavy lifting doesn’t go well it would be wise ( wink) sticking up on taking maximum amount rest possible resorting from minimal physical activity.Your loved ones might even cast you out if seen doing laundry under any circumstances 😉

Not only do we suggest avoiding violent sports like taekwondo…well maybe forever? But also encourage diet consisting mainly vegetables ,yogurt low-fat meats etc .Concussions weaken us both physically and mentally therefore nutritional weakness isn’t something anyone wants ever…

In Conclusion: Keep Your Humor Up High

Regardless of everything written above, brain injuries are no joke. They should always be taken seriously, and medical attention should never be delayed. So wear your helmet the next you feel daring enough to ride a bike or rollerskates outdoors.

From above guide create new rituals to deal with concussion – while laughter isn’t exactly cure but staying optimistic through bumpy-because-it’s-almost-all-a-literal-head-ache-road makes healing all that easier!
