My 2 1/2 yr. old fell off the bed and hit his head.  He cried, and then vomited.  He was also sleepy, but I did not let him sleep.  He seems alert now, and talks coherently.  Should I do anything....should I take him to a Dr.?     Pleasse tell me....why dont doctors hellp a desperate mother free?
There are certain ominous signs of head injury that we need to look out for. They are:* Vomiting* Loss of consciousness or altered consciousness* Severe headache* ConvulsionsThese signs could indicate something serious. The vomiting and the feeling sleepy after that raise the doubt and signify the requirement of a CT scan of the brain. You should definitely take him to a doctor and get him evaluated. If the reports are relieving, doctors would definitely be able to reassure you.
