A. If your son fell and then vomited later that night, it’s essential to monitor him closely for any concerning symptoms. Vomiting after a fall can sometimes be a sign of a concussion or other injury, even if he seems fine afterward. Here are some steps to consider: 1. Observe for Symptoms: Keep an eye on him for any signs of concussion, such as: Drowsiness or difficulty waking up Persistent vomiting Headache Confusion or irritability Balance problems or difficulty walking Changes in vision 2. Rest: Ensure he gets plenty of rest. Avoid any activities that could risk another fall or injury. 3. Hydration: Keep him hydrated, especially after vomiting. Offer small sips of water or an oral rehydration solution if he’s able to drink. 4. Consult a Pediatrician: Since he vomited after the fall, it’s advisable to contact your pediatrician for guidance. They may recommend coming in for an evaluation to rule out any serious injury. If he shows any worsening symptoms or if you have any doubts about his condition, do not hesitate to seek medical attention immediately. Safety is the priority, and it's better to err on the side of caution when it comes to head injuries in children.
