Can Head Injuries Cause Stomach Pain And Vomiting?

My 3 1/2 year old grandson fell about 3 feet and busted his head open. Took him to the er and they stapled the wound shut. The er doc said no concussion. about 3 hrs later he said tummy hurts and vomited then went back to sleep. Is this ok or should I advise my daughter to take him back to the er?
