Hi,
Thanks for your question.
If your child is sleepy and not rousable, seems to have trouble with his vision, complains of an increasing headache, vomits more than twice then you should seek medical attention. Its very common for children of this age to fall and hit there heads and the majority of the time they are fine.
Best wishes
