What Causes Vomiting In An Infant Post A Fall?

Our 10 month old grand daughter ate about 1 tablespoon of ground turkey (first time) and 2 TB of baby food. About 15 mins later she fell off the couch onto a rug. We put ice on her head (forehead close to hairline over her left eye) then she went down for a nap (regular time). She woke up 3 hours later and had 4 oz breast milk. About 2 hours later, she started vomiting. Could it be a concussion? What signs do we look for? She is asleep now. What should we do?
