How long does it take a person to fully recover from a concussion?

My son had a mild to moderate head injury (concussion) in early May. He is still showing the same symptoms as when he was first recovering (but to a lesser extent.) I want to take him in to see the doctor - but want to make sure I am not making a mountain out of a mole hill. So - how long does it take a person to fully recover?

(Update: I will ask him to accompany me to the doctors. The hospital and doctor are aware of his injury when it occurred. (As well as the police, as it was an assault by a youth.) I should have mentioned he is 19 - almost 20. He has mood swings and head aches. I contribute it to his head injury as he has never had mood swings like this before. I have heard that it takes up to three months to fully recover - but with his mood swings I feel prompted to ask him to come in. Thank you all for your help!)

It could be anything from a few hours upwards. Head injuries are always serious, and you're right to be concerned.

Take your child to the doctor, if only to set your mind at ease.

You are his mother..get him checked out for his sake and your sanity. Concussions symptoms can be long lasting.
