Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J.Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you.

The Giddiness is probably due to the Disturbance of Vestibular Apparatus and Vomiting is a consequence of Giddiness. This will settle down in six to nine months

Please do repeat CT brain to Rule out Post traumatic Communicating Hydrocephalous.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
