What Causes Headaches, Nausea, Double Vision And Increased Appetite After Concussion In Child?

My 12 year old son suffered a concussion. DOI was 2/12/17, this past Sunday. He is experiencing h/a, nausea, and double vision. We went to ER, he checked out okay. Today I noticed a substantial increase in his appetite (it s like he can t get enough to eat). Is this a normal post concussion symptom? He is average height and weight.
