Could Vomiting After A Head Trauma In A Toddler Be A Matter Of Concern?
My 2 and half year old fell and hit back of right side of head on concrete. Cried hysterically and then threw up 15 minutes later. Seemed groggy and out of hit but with in 2 hrs was back k self. Now he started throwing up again and just fell asleep. Should I try and wake him up? Should we go to ER?

Hi...do not wake him up. But I suggest you take him to the emergency room as vomiting and being groggy are red flags especially after a had trauma.
I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behavior.
I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room and get him checked by a doctor.
