other important points to consider:
• Following concussion, the child should rest for at least 24 hours.
• The child should avoid any computer, internet or electronic gaming activity, if these activities make symptoms worse.
• The child should not be given any medications, including pain killers, unless prescribed by a medical practitioner.
