Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The vomiting may be due to gastroenteritis as you have already stated.
But vomiting within 48 hours of head injury indicates brain injury and it needs consultation of neurophysician.
Brain scan may be required to rule out vomiting due to CNS cause.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
