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.

That's basically it. Rest and reduced stimulus sounds easy, but it really ain't
I'd add frozen bean bags, and no booze for a while. Alcohol inhibits brain recovery, although I honestly don't know if that extends to concussions
