It depends on which symptoms you need help with. The short-term symptoms will generally subside on their own as long as no new trauma is experienced. Our natural coping mechanisms will seek to balance out our body and mind over the course of about three days. If it lasts longer than that then see your physician. If it becomes chronic it can lead to a condition called post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
Physical symptoms: fever, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headache, pale skin, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet.
Generally speaking, no. We cannot diagnose medical symptoms. You should see a doctor immediately. These can be symptoms of serious, even life-threatening, physical disorders.
I am not sure about a headache that will "come and go". However, there is post concussion syndrom(PCS) in which headache and dizziness can start within the first 7-10 days and last as long as 3 months. A good way to tell the difference in headache is to press below the eyes over the sinuses. If there is pain in that region, it is likely sinus headache. If this were my son, I would give him a full day of rest like you did. Then I would let him start to engage in some physical activities for 10 minutes or so, which at 11 years old, I am sure he has already. If he has no dizziness or confusion, and has no headache (other than sinus), I would allow him to participate in the track activities that you described. Now that he has had a concussion, it will be easier for him to get a concussion in the future.

A traumatic event can be traumatic for various reasons and many people disagree on what is traumatic and what is not. Whether an event is traumatic or not, will depend on the individual. But for many people, natural disasters are very traumatic because of the loss of property, wealth, and life. Other people agree that car accidents are very traumatic because of the possibility of death, severe injury, or paralysis. Other people experience trauma as a result of rape, molestation, or domestic violence. Abuse (physical, sexual, emotional) is also traumatic. For many parents, families, and caregivers, trauma can result from caring for the severe mental illness of a loved one. For example, schizophrenia or severe bipolar disorder can be very traumatizing to family members. It is difficult to understand the person's delusion, hallucinations, increased levels of energy, or changing moods or thought processes. The list of traumatic events are extensive. The key here is remembering that traumatic events can be different for everyone. What you might think is traumatic may not be traumatic to the next person.
