Suggest Remedy For Vomiting And Vertigo In A Person After A Concussion

I got a concussion week before last & am having a horrible time recovering. I ve been to the ER twice. I already suffer from vertigo and it made it worse. Fast forward to now... I have a constant headache, vertigo still high, although it has lessened some, nausea, vomiting, and today I noticed my eyes are red. I was prescribed zofran, meclizine, hydroxizine, & aleve. They don t seembto be working. So...my questions... are red eyes normal? and is there anything else I may try to lessen the symptoms I ve listed above?
