I have this question..

There is no set formula for recovery from concussions. Basically it is to take time away from sparring and any other potential jarring activity. The more time the better. This means to try and reduce all activity, and for a boxer, to put as much time between your last headache and getting in the gym as possible. It is recommended and studies have shown that all activity, even just running and skills training, and doing every day things, when resting from them will help a person recover quicker. But the damage is done.

So the best one can do to get rid of it, is get lots of rest, lots of sleep, eat good, and as little physical activity as possible. The fear is the reoccurance of them, and the prolonged damage of numerous concussions which is more likely when in a weakened state from a recent one, and the long term effects of them.

It is best to see your doctor and get his/her thoughts. The thing is, doctors aren't even really sure and have their own opinions. The above what I posted as far as taking as much time as possible is from a neurosurgeon, who ultimately says, "If you really want to avoid them, don't box."

The thing is, this can easily go for many sports, hockey, football, soccer, rugby etc, anything with heavy body contact. It is just with boxing, the primary goal is to damage the brain, to give the opponent a concussion, so it gets a special "wtf don't do it" from a lot of doctors.
