What Causes Vomiting And Dizziness After Being Hit On The Head?

my sister was in bed a few nights ago and a 1 foot ceramic staue fell off of her head board shelf and hit her in the head. There were two egg sized bumps, which we treated with ice and pain killers. The swelling went down after a day, but she did vomitt that night and has been dizzy ever since. Now she is having seemingly more pain, even though the swelling has lessened. Also, her sinuses feel congested and she has some clear liquid seeping out of her ear when she sleeps on her side. I deas?

The statue fall on head might have caused internal bleed in the brain which is usually the cause of vomiting. Many of the small bleeds resolve spontaneously. There can also be a fracture in the skull bone after injury. It advised to take her to a near by hospital and get a CT scan of the brian done to ruleout the above said injuries.
