My 13yr old daughter got a concussion 1/11/16, she was elbowed just above her temple in an basketball game. She wasn't knocked out and just kept playing, a few minutes later she was tripped, hurt her knee and the coach pulled her out for the rest of the game (thank goodness). She told me as soon as the game was over that she thought she was getting sick, she was dizzy and nauseous. The stomach virus was going around so I just contributed it to that. The rest of the night, next morning - same stuff. She kept calling from school to come pick her up. She begged me to get her before her weightlifting class. I was finally able to leave work and get her during the weightlifting class. She had already ran laps, squats, push ups, sit ups, and lifted. I took her home, she tried to work on her algebra homework which made her even worse. A couple hours later with her insisting that she just didn't feel right, I thought MAYBE this is a concussion. We took her to the Children's ER. Because it was 24 hours post accident, the ER doc chose not to do a CT. She said if there was a bleed she would be in BAD shape by this time. She suggested rest, no tv/phone, etc.
We are now on day 24 and she's still sick. She started experiencing a headache about 3 days after the concussion. She basically has a headache 24 hours a day. Some dizziness and nausea. If she's up too long, every shower she will get dizzy/nausea. The thing I think that most concerns me is that each time she has attempted to do her homework she will get VERY nauseous. She's never thrown up but the nausea is awful. Of course the headache is getting worse at this time as well. She will be super sick the rest of the day. She has good days...few and far in between but even the good days she still has all the symptoms- just not awful.

We haven't seen a neuro. We're doing chiro/acupuncture/essential oils. Our primary care physician started her on Naproxen 375mg Tuesday, so she's had 4 doses of that and it hasn't touched the pain. Dr said to call back Friday (tomorrow) morning if it doesn't help. I had originally called him requesting either a neuro referral and/or migraine meds to try on her after having a few friends that they had helped them.

All of this just to see if anyone has heard of the nausea becoming worse when trying to read/write. Any other advice would be great as well. I've been reading through this forum for almost a week so I've seen lots of stuff..but just looking for some reassurance.
