Please check out my COVID-19 concussion resources
Medication is most likely your first stop, though medicine by itself cannot fix deeper issues caused by the concussion like balance or vision problems.
Many times, medications can not solve everything on their own, a mixture of therapies and chiropractic treatments can help solve your pain
Alternative medicine is definitely something that should be utilized for recovery. It is easy to discount it as not real or not helpful but there are many helpful natural and eastern remedies.
DISCLAIMER- Please Please PLEASE do not self medicate. I know it is frustrating that many doctors seem to have no idea what we are saying, and how to help us, but it is very important to go about this the right way, the safe way. That being said, if you want to try a medication, ask your doctor about it, if they don't want you to try it, they probably have a reason.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, or any type of medical professional, these things that I talk about here are only an outsiders knowledge, or my personal experience. Please discuss with a medial professional before trying.
Another disclaimer: I know many people can not get through day to day without painkillers, and I really understand that, but from what I have learned it is not good for you to take them every day. Things like Excedrin are meant for short term use and can end up giving you rebound headaches. There are also short term headache spike medications for use a few times a week, definitely check those out and see if you can find a long term use med that works for you.
A concussion can cause many symptoms including, but not limited to,
- headaches

- memory issues

- light and sound sensitivities

- unsteadiness
- PTSD from the incident, which can cause serious physical AND psychological problems
