I have spent a fair bit of time dealing with concussions. Rest and reduced stimulus is pretty much where it's at. Some recommend adding brain healthy foods such as fatty fish, blueberries, dark chocolate etc. and anything rich in protein, zinc and magnesium.

The thing with concussions is that the recovery timeline is a bit unpredictable, as are symptoms. Best to be conscious of unusual changes in emotions or cognitive function and take time to slow down and heal when/if it they intrude into life again. Recovery is not necessarily linear, so don't assume it's all in the past as soon as she starts feeling normal again.

I hope she recovers quickly and fully, and that she doesn't get any more bumps like that in future. Concussions suck.
