As a parent, you want to protect your child from everything in the world, especially harm. Unfortunately, accidents can’t always be avoided, and your children can get hurt. When they sustain minor injuries, healing can be easy, and they can return to normal rather quickly. However, if they suffer from a brain injury, their entire lives could change in an instant.

When your concussion symptoms last longer than the expected recovery time, it’s possible you have post-concussion syndrome (PCS). These are also known as persistent post-concussive symptoms. While concussions can be mild and heal relatively quickly, sometimes their symptoms last past when your doctor said you should be recovered by. Since this injury deals with your brain, it’s important to talk to your doctor immediately to see if you have PCS.
