Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury after falling on ice and you are having headache, vomiting and lump on the head.
The lump on the head is because of hematoma or collection of blood in the layers of scalp as a result of injury.
The symptoms of headache and vomiting following head injury needs to be evaluated as these can be because of raised intra cranial tension secondary to brain injury. Hence you need to consult your doctor to rule out head injury.
Thank you
