  If your brother is still showing any of these signs, you should probably take him to a doctor.
  * confusion or feeling dazed
  * clumsiness
  * slurred speech
  * nausea or vomiting
  * headache
  * balance problems or dizziness
  * blurred vision
  * sensitivity to light
  * sensitivity to noise
  * sluggishness
  * ringing in ears
  * behavior or personality changes
  * concentration difficulties
  * memory loss
  But from what you said happened, if your brother did in fact get a concussion, it was probably no more than a Grade 1 Concussion, which means those symptoms only last for 15 minutes or so. But since you said it happened four days ago, and your brother is doing fine other than being pissed off at your cousin, then I wouldn't worry.

  
  
  Well, my brother did have a headache for over 2-3 days aswell as a little stammer or so more than usual.
  
  Should I still take him to the doctor? :S *Never was good with the Health Department. :\*

  You should. Better safe than sorry.

  I would say any symptoms lasting over an hour would be a bad sign. 2-3 days doesn't sound good at all.

  What if the symptoms lasted like .. I dunno.. a few hours then disappears. And the next day, it reappears and disappears the same way?
  
  Still not sure what to do..

  I'm guessing the symptoms come from an affected part of the head (or even brain) that gets really stimulated sometime during the day.
  
  Like Yogurt said, better safe than sorry. Sure, it might be annoying, but I'd rather have my siblings annoyed at me than to have to cry about their pains.
