How Can A Concussion Be Treated?

Hello. My friend had an issue where a girl fell on top of her. She hit her head and got(to what we believed to be a mild concussion. She s been having loss of memory, extreme headaches 24/7, she has trouble sleeping, and often gets dizzy or nauseous. She keeps trying to brush it off but it has been going on for a week. How bad is it and should she consider going to a doctor?
