Child Fell And Hit Her Front Head. Have Headache, Nausea. Gave Tylenol. She Threw Up. Emergency?
Hi, my 6 years old daughter fell and hit her head on the front. She started complaining of headache and nausea. I gave her Tylenol and couple hours later she threw up once. It's been 4 hours since the fall and she is sleeping now, it's 12am here. I wanna know if I should take her to the ER immediately, or I can wait until tomorrow and see if she has any other symptoms. Thank you.

Presence of headache, nausea and vomiting indicates that there is evidence of involvement of the brain during head injury.
It is advisable to an MRI of the brain and consult the doctor.
The child may in lucid interval.
Assessment and observation is needed.
