Brief Answer: I would advise more activity Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that your symptoms related to concussion are still persisting even after about two months from the time of injury. However, in some cases, these symptoms can last longer. Regarding physical activity, in the initial few days, rest is important, however, as the recovery continues, more physical activity is advised. This should be done in a graded fashion and the duration of physical activity should be gradually increased. Similarly, cognitive activity can also be gradually increased. For relief of headaches, you could take diclofenac or ibuprofen tablets. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
