How To Treat Fall Mediated Dizzy,nausea And Seizing?

My 14yo daughter fell down about 6 wood stairs. She landed on her bottom on concrete. She got up and was talking, but had no color in her face/lips. She started feeling dizzy and nauseous. We got her to sit and she dry heaved a few times. Said she couldn t see or hear. Leaned her back against her dad who sat on the floor to hold her. She was getting worse, her arm started shaking and them her head (seizing). Her eyes were open, but she wasn t communicating. Then she went limp. I ran upstairs for the phone to call 911 while my husband was holding her, calling for her to come back. By the time I got back to the stairway, she was awake again, so she wasn t even out a minute. The 911 call didn t go through before my husband stopped me. She slowly started coming around. Got some color back, felt less nauseous, could see and hear better. Now (about 20 minutes later), she seems ok. A little weak and low on energy, but talking, laughing, asking questions and asking for food. No bumps, no blood, no pain other than her elbow. Should she still be seen, or can we just watch her here at home? If so, what should we watch for.

Hi,YOU SHOULD SEE A PHYSICIAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
What actually happened was the blood supply to her brain stopped transiently resulting in the physical manifestation she had. she might have had carotid dissection. immediate attention is required with thourough body check up. there might be some embolus obstructing blood vessels also. proper aetiology can be derived only by proper investigations which is also important to prevent any further such incidence. hope that helps! take care! :)
