Is It Normal For A Child To Vomit After Suffering Head Injury?
My 2 1/2 yr. old fell off the bed and hit his head. He cried, and then vomited. He was also sleepy, but I did not let him sleep. He seems alert now, and talks coherently. Should I do anything....should I take him to a Dr.? Pleasse tell me....why don't doctors hellp a desperate mother free?

There are certain ominous signs of head injury that we need to look out for. They are:
* Vomiting
* Loss of consciousness or altered consciousness
* Severe headache
* Convulsions
These signs could indicate something serious. The vomiting and the feeling sleepy after that raise the doubt and signify the requirement of a CT scan of the brain. You should definitely take him to a doctor and get him evaluated. If the reports are relieving, doctors would definitely be able to reassure you.
