Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Hard hitting on the head that caused falling down and seeing glitter like objects in the sky are not known to cause any diarrhea.
Vomiting can be caused by reflex action of head injury.
Hence the diarrhea has to be investigated and evaluated
I would advise you the following:
Get a clinical evaluation done by a Doctor to get the vitals and systemic examination.
Send the stool, blood and urine for examination.
Get appropriate antibiotics, probiotics as and when needed.
Also needed is a Neurological evaluation and CT scan of the brain to rule out any internal injury and get treated accordingly.
