Hi..
Head injury with vomiting but is a matter of concern, but do not worry as he is alert.
He requires close monitoring for next 24 hrs watch for any sign of loss of consciousness, repeated episodes of vomiting, seizures, ear/nose bleed, giddiness.
if so take him to ER for further evaluation like CT Scan.
At present continue same as instructed by doctor.
