Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to concussion injury or sub-dural hemorrhage as a result of the head injury.
In this condition, there is rupture of the minute blood vessels, the blood from which keeps on accumulating & put compression over the brain leading to the symptoms.
So, kindly consult your Physician & get a complete clinical examination done.
Investigations like X ray of skull & CT brain should be done to detect the cause of bleeding.
If any active site is found, it should be immediately managed to prevent any further complication.
Wishing her a good health.
