Throwing up 2 days after fairground ride

Hi

DS12 was on a fairground ride Friday afternoon, one of those centrifugal force ones.

He vomited after it and is still getting sick.

Over night Friday, once yesterday daytime and twice last night.

Do I need to do anything? Or will it pass on its own?

Bit worried about concussion but not sure if it's the same thing or not. No bang to the head but obviously his brain was thrown all over the place.

Not sure how he could get concussion from one of those rides.

Does he still keep getting the sensation of being on the ride? Completely different I know, but recently after a long haul flight, I still felt like I was on it for days, the room was moving like when you're on the plane tilting side to side, and I had a week of sickness. I didn't feel unwell as such like it was a bug, just kept feeling dizzy and throwing up. I got an anti sickness jab at hospital in the end and it did the trick.

I knew it wasn't a concussion, but I couldn't think of the right word. I think I was thinking of Vertigo.

Anyhow, we went to minor injuries because 111 kept cutting me off before I could even join the queue. She gave us some motion sickness tablets for a few days.
They've made him really sleepy so he's had a big nap this afternoon.

Thanks all for your advice x
