Can being hit in the face cause a concussion.

Concussions are usually caused by a blow to the head. Concussion is the most common head injury in sports. Violently shaking of the head and upper body also can cause concussions.

Possibly broken cheekbone and now concussion symptoms 1-2 days later. A person does not need to be knocked out lose consciousness or pass out to have had a concussion. Signs and symptoms of a concussion may include.
