Frequently Asked Questions — Head Injury at Urgent Care
- Can urgent care evaluate a concussion?
- Yes. Urgent care providers can perform a neurological exam, use standardized concussion assessment tools, and provide return-to-activity guidance. They can order CT imaging or transfer to an ER if there are red-flag symptoms.
- When is a head injury an emergency?
- Go to the ER immediately if there is loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, severe headache, seizure, one pupil larger than the other, slurred speech, or if the patient cannot be woken up.
- How long do concussion symptoms last?
- Most concussion symptoms resolve within 7–10 days in adults and up to 4 weeks in children. Persistent symptoms should be followed up with a specialist.
