Hi,
After head injury you should observe the child carefully in the following 24 hours. If he was drowsy, fainted or vomited within the next 24 hours following the injury then take the child to the hospital to perform an urgent ct scan of the head.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
