What Causes Slight Dizziness And Concussion After An Injury?

My daughter in car accident and was dx with mild concussion last night in er. Still having some h/a on-off and feels slight dizziness when she gets up. Feels like her head is full. She said earlier she felt like she smelt old blood in her nose but nothing there. We feel it may b powder from the three airbags that deployed. How long sx may last?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, head injury need to be taken very seriously and this may take some time to come around if no serious injury is there, if she said about the smell of old blood then here nose need to be examined for bleeding per nose because this very likely in head injury, hope this information helps, take care.
