What Causes Vomiting In A Child After Head Injury?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...yes just wanted to know i have a 3 year old daughter, she hit her head today in day care and has a lump on her head and then a little bit later she was throwing up, would u think i should take her to the hospital.
If she vomits more than one time, then yes you ought to have her evaluated by a physician.
However, if she seems to be acting normally- no abnormal eye movements, stands without falling over, walks and runs without tilting to the side and complains of no pain(other than where she hit her head), and not sleepy, it will be safe for you to observe her at home.
Throwing up after head injury is probably due to the temporary movement of the vomiting center in the brain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
