Hi Lacorevalmon,
Your friend should certainly see a neurosurgeon, who will assess her neurological status and whether she has made a satisfactory recovery for concussion or still has some trouble.
Second she will also be examined for nose bleed; may be she is having some fracture and tear in nose- which also comes in dangerous area of face and at times can lead to lethal brain infection.
Take Care!
