Should I Seek Treatment Tonight Or Is It Ok To Wait Til Tomorrow ?

hi, my 12 year old son was playing hockey tonite and was hit by another player and fell backwards onto the ice hitting his head, he was wearing a helmet, he did not lose conciousness, immediately felt like throwing up, and has a major headache. when we got home he immediately stated he was hungry, i gave him some tylenol, should i seek treatment tonite or is it ok to wait til tomorrow?

Why wait..its a cae of head injury..he is feeling like vomiting which means taht there is some amount of raised pressure inside the skull..rush him to ER immediately before condition can go worse..just to see that everything is fine..and there is nothin to worry about.
