Dd hit head, sick two hours later

[Rainraingoawayagainandagain]

Please calm me, anxious mu
At around 3, when my 5 year old was getting in the car, the wind blew hard as I was helping her and the car door hit her head. It looked quite hard and she cried a lot. It has a small bump there and she says tender to touch. She was ok afterwards, but half an hour ago said she had tummy ache and has just vomited and is now lay down looking pale. She v v rarely vomits. There is lots going around, but I’m getting really an iI’d it could be connected to her head?
Please can anyone advise? 🙏

Hospital.

@Mmhmmn For sure? Ok thank you

Yes, straight to the hospital to get her checked over.

Yes this happened to my son and was concussion. They kept him for 6 hours to observe him and then he could go home. They took him on blue lights so you really need to go

Just that she’s hit her head and then vomited and she rarely vomits.

A&E now

Yeah you do need to get her checked.

She's probably got a concussion, you need to take her to the hospital to get her checked and confirmed incase its something worse

I'd take her to the hospital based on your post. Hope she's okay.

A&E - the NHS advice is if you have vomited after a head injury go to A&E. It's better to be safe than sorry with head injuries.

Hospital here too. If it helps though, we had the same with DSS when he was 4, bump to the head then sickness around 2 hours later. Hospital observed but he didn't need any intervention and we were home within 8 hours.

Hope she’s ok x

Just to reassure though… kids can vomit after a head injury. It wouldn’t warrant a head scan unless they’ve vomited 3 times in children as they are more likely to vomit than adults (in the absence of anything else that is worrying). So please take for check over if you are worried but don’t be surprised if they don’t do much more than observe for a bit and send you home again x

Always go to A&E with a head injury especially if they feel sick, vomiting etc etc

Definitely go to the hospital. Hope she and you are ok.

Go straight to A&E.

Absolutely A&E. she's been sick after a head injury. Absolute basics.

Hospital

Any vomiting after a head injury means hospital visit - immediately.

This happened to my DS recently. Except he was extremely drowsy too. They just said he had a concussion but didn’t do any scans. If he’d been continuously vomiting or in and out of consciousness then they would’ve. I think the protocol is just observation for a few hours. Good luck x

A&E for sure

Take her, the same thing happened to an adult friend of mine and she had concussion. It affected her for over a month so it needs checking out x

Just take her. You won't rest for worrying otherwise. Hope she's ok

Yes you must get her checked at hospital.

My DD hit hear head went to hospital as she needed stitches. They told us to come back immediately if she vomited.

She did vomit and we went back. She was kept in overnight. All ended up fine but they really insisted that she needed to be seen. Good luck.
