Appreciate concern: A concussion is merely loss of consciousness, memory loss or combination of both. If that was all that occurred, no reason to worry, but if behaviour or mood has changed, there is repetitive nausea and vomiting, or dizziness and imbalance, or difficulties with speech, best to get further evaluation. The vast majority of childhood head injuries result in no lingering problems.

Concussion: I would take her to er to make sure she's ok. She may need a brain image done to rule out bleeding or other brain injuries.
