Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I am sorry you have a smacked right lower part of the head with throbbing pain and taking advil is not helping with you waking up this morning with vomiting. I believe that you also have a viral infection and should visit with an ER doctor. An imaging study with a CT scan will help with ruling out a serious issue in your head, concussion will get better, but anything more serious would need attention.

I hope this helps. Take care! Have a lovely day!
