I was down with headache for 4 days. Nauseas only for 1 day thankfully.

It depends on the concussion. A friend of mine was severely concussed and wasn’t allowed to drive for 3 months.

Not severe and headaches stopped. It will be 1 week exactly when person needs to drive

DH had concussion a few months ago and didn’t drive for two weeks. He still felt groggy. I had concussion many years ago and felt awful for 3 months. I would say very case dependant.

Yes family member is not doing any physical activity for 21 days but may feel well enough to drive will see
