Let them sleep: Specialists update info about concussion care for kids

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - If your child gets medical care for a concussion, you might be surprised what they tell you not to do when you go home. If your child has a concussion, you may have heard previously that you should wake them up overnight or when they are sleeping to make sure they are okay. Well now, sports medicine specialists say that advice is outdated and for a while now they have not suggested that practice. “When someone has a concussion, what they need is rest, so it’s almost the exact opposite of what parents are doing currently, which is waking ‘em up to make sure they are okay, if you woke me up in the middle of the night, I wouldn't be coherent, so it's not a good practice to wake up someone with a concussion to make sure they are doing okay, what they need is rest,” said Dr. James Hahn, a Sports Medicine Specialist at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. Your healthcare provider is the best person to ask about what to do following any injury, but many child health specialists are now trying to get the word out about the practice so kids get the rest that they need.
