If a pregnant woman suffers a concussion, she should usually rest, as medication is not recommended in such cases. After all, since she is carrying a child, she needs to rest and get sufficient sleep, which is highly beneficial for improving the range of clinical symptoms following a concussion. Unless the symptoms become unbearable, she should avoid taking oral medications. She must be very cautious when considering any medication use.
