I understand your concerns. Vomiting, unconsciousness and sleepiness are common after trauma to head. Sometimes patients may suffer from convulsions also. Observation is required for 48-72 hours after head trauma. If the patient is doing well, nothing is required. However on safer side a ultrasound of the cranium, X-ray skull and if indicated CT brain can be done to rule out any serious condition.
