I've had a minor one from a soccer collision.
There's the "keep you awake for 24 hour" bit, which I think my mom did for a bit, but then just checked on me to make sure I was sleeping fine. The checking the eyes is to make sure the pupils are equally dilated because one not working right is a sign of damage. The disorientation fades, it's just the brain trying to sort itself back out again.
The biggest thing I heard was NOT to do anything that would get you re-concussed for however long your brain was recovering from it, a concussion on top of an existing one is a lot more dangerous.
But you don't need to bubble wrap the kid's head or anything, just no wrestling until the doctor says.

Turns out that both our son and another wrestler were thrown on their heads (both flagrant fouls) during matches. I also found out that the same thing happened to a kid from the school where I teach when they wrestled this same school...plus another of my students got punched in the head.
Both boys are still a little spacy but much more with it today. However, they can't wrestle for at least 2 weeks.
