What Treatment Should Be Done After Child Gets Hit On Head?

dear doctor, my daughter aged 2 yrs fell down twice yesterday, first from the bed hitting her stomach and after one hour from the chair hitting head. She had vomiting two times immediately after the fall hitting head. She became normal immediately, but was taken to hospital. Neuro Surgeon has examined her and told us that nothing to worry at all and all her signs are normal. She has all the activities as usual and had food also. Doctor advised us to take care of her for next 24 hours. But nothing happened and after 36 hours, she vomitted once during the sleep in the midnight. She seemed restless during the sleep and eventually vomitted. after few minutes she became normal. She had two pieces of tamarind during the afternoon. When we examined her vomiting , we found that only tomato and tamarind was visible. She had taken rice,milk,water melon,chocolate,water and a piece of chicken cutlet as well. Now she is sleeping. Anything to worry doctor ? Best regards, Sanu Sathyan

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If the child vomits,becomes drowsy or develop fits within 48 hours after injury, it suggests injury to the brain damage.
Hence better go for CT scan of brain either to rule out or confirm the diagnosis.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
