You can treat a concussion at home but if you suffered unconcsiousness or loss of memory you should seek emergency help immediately. If it is not serious, apply some ice to the affected area. If you have a headache only take acetaminophen since aspirin and ibuprofen tends to thin the blood.

A person with a grade 3 concussion (involving any loss of consciousness, no matter how brief) should be examined by a medical professional either on the scene or in an emergency room. More severe symptoms may warrant a CT or MRI scan
