What Is The Treatment For Mild Concussion In Children?

Son was dignosed with a mild concussion yesterday. Last night he started having fevers ranging from 100-102 and has had them all day. He is also very sleepy and has not eaten much today. Not his normal 6 year old self. Should I take him back in to the ER?

Hi....excessive sleepiness like this is not a good sign after a concussions.. Moreover he's got fever too. He needs to be examined by a physician. I strongly suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room.
