Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, in cases of head trauma there are very much chances of fracture of skull and brain injury. In cases of brain injury symptoms like persistent vomiting, seizure, bleeding from mouth or nose, loss of unconsciousness are present. If above symptoms are present then it is very much likely that the child has brain injury. Since your friend has episodes of vomiting it is advisable to get the child examined by Neuro surgeon. If required for CT scan of that should be done to rule out fracture and brain injury. I hope it will help you. Take care.
