Could Vomiting After A Hurt On The Head Of A 11 Month Old Be A Matter Of Concern?

I picked my 11 month old out of her crib and our ceillings are really low so she wound up bumping the top of her head on the celling. a few hours later my husband yelled to me that she had thrown up. should I be worried? I might add that I just started feeding her regular milk and the vommit was white, so I don t know if she is just allergic or if it was from hitting her head

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern.

The vomiting could be because of hitting of the head. I don't think this is because of allergy.

I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously - not single like this.
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behaviour.

If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500mg) every 4-6th hourly.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
