Baby fell of bed - panicking

Hi im looking for urgent advice im really panicking

My 1 year old fell of the bed about 20 minutes ago. Recently I've been letting him fall asleep in the bed and then I lift him into the cot as this is what's been working.

He was sitting up and fell back and hit his head a hard whack on the floor. He screamed really hard and fell asleep whilst screaming (it's way past his bed time so I think he just screamed himself to sleep) or if him falling asleep was due to the fall. He did gag and spit up saliva , no vomit. Don't know wether this was due to the fall or crying so hard.

He's now asleep and Im absolutely terrified. Obviously I'll keep an eye on him all night but it's hard as he's asleep so idk if he's in okay form. I don't know if he's supposed to sleep after hitting his head.

My local A&E is an absolute shambles atm. 10 hour wait for out of hours to ring back & up to 24 hour wait to be seen in A&E.

Any advice? My nerves are choking me.

I would get him checked out, especially as he fell backwards off the bed and hit his head. Poor boy and poor you, what fright! Please don't panic, but do get him seen.
