Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting and head injury
vomiting
I have a pretty good knot on my head still and know I had a concussion (dizziness, fatigue, nausea/vomiting and headache). Well.. today my head still hurts, but I am noticing pain in my ear as well still. That began last night. Since I do not have insurance, I am wondering if I should be concerned and seek treatment. Please advise!
I fell backwards and banged my head to floor. There was no bleeding, vomiting or nausea.Its been 20 days now and I still have heaviness and slight pain since then. I went thru CT scan it says "cerebellar foliae are prominent" otherwise report is ok... what does it mean?? Do I need to worry and consult the doctor again?
Hi, Thank you for your question. After head injury or impact such kind of symptoms like headache & vomiting may be common, but may remain symptomatic or progress in future. I would recommend that he should consult immediately with a doctor for assessment. Please arrange an appointment with a neurologist who will evaluate the further prognosis here and can provide you an appropriate treatment. Hope this helps.
A day ago, while playing with my younger brother, he slipped and hit his head on a door-frame, hard enough to cause a bump and swelling. We placed ice on the bump, and it went down, and, of course, he complained of headaches. So, we gave him Children's Motrin.
Now, he had been sick the day before, and he was recovering the day of the accident. But, both the same day and day after, I check his forehead and he seamed feverish.
You need to consult a neurologist as soon as possible or go to an emergency room and get evaluated for head injury and concussion. You may also need a MRI of the brain. The headaches could just be due to the hit or due to some bleed (that caused the swelling) or due to just a superficial injury to scalp. It cal also be due to bead injury that goes deeper into the brain.
I would have never thought that angle -- she had a concussion from soccer (going up tp head a ball but went head to head with another player) -- this was a while back tho, 2 years, so more than a year before the illness started.
So your injury caused your throwing up and sleep issues?
I don't know if these would be related but we are losing our minds trying to figure something out. All dr's will say is since the tests are all negative that leaves her with IBS and stress. Sigh.
Generally the symptoms appear within 48 hours to two weeks. However no head injury should be ignored. If you develop nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc then consult a doctor immediately. These symptoms develop if there is a brain injury or bleed. Otherwise this pressure pain will go in a few days. Take care!
Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? Was there previous history of trauma or injury to the head or neck? If there is none, this could be due to primary headaches such as migraine, tension or cluster headaches. Migraine headaches usually present with one sided throbbing headaches associated with nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light or sound. While cluster headache usually present with headache and pain in the vicinity of the eye that could last for a few days.

should i do scanning of head.?
Symptoms can develop immediately or even weeks later. The injury can be superficial to muscles and soft tissues and this can cause headaches and sore feeling which any pain killer can help reduce. However, the injury could be more serious.
Watch out for nausea, vomiting, excess sleep, severe persisting headache, difficulty in walking and balance, tremors, seizures, vision problems, ringing in ears etc, and if present then consult a doctor immediately.
i fell off a ladder and landed on my back hitting the back of my head on concrete causing a laceration that had to be sewed up. along with that i had a concussion. that was four days ago. since that time the back of my neck is staying stiff and swelled. also, the laceration site that was sewed up has swelled and my head is starting to hurt more. is this commonplace?
i have numbness in the top of my head, it doesn't hurt, but the hairs on my head seem to be
tingleing all the time. This has been going on for a few weeks now. Any idea what is going on?
Hi
Most head injuries are closed injuries, and may manifest no visible injury. A head injury may not cause immediate symptoms. It can take several hours for symptoms to appear when there is enough swelling in the brain.
General weakness in the arms or legs is a common result of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). It may affect one side or both sides and may affect either upper or lower limbs or both, depending upon the site of injury.
An X-ray normally is done to determine problems in the body cavity (pneumonia, cancer, injury, etc.) Upper respiratory infections are viral, not bacterial, and affect the head and throat area. I would recommend you call your vet and get a clearer understanding of exactly what his diagnosis is and the medication and feeding instructions for your cat.
I second that motion, especially the EDP thing. Call 9-1-1 and ask for an ambulance, your father will have to go then, because when they suddenly show up, he won't have a choice, because they'll be there and have to take him. You can talk to your father calmly and explain he does not realize some of the stuff you've witnessed, that it's too big a danger that he hit his head and the vomiting might be from it, and he must trust you, and go.
So when I was around 5 years old i was playing t-ball when i was smacked in the head buy a girl on the opposing team with a baseball bat. I was hit in the front of the head on the left side of my head. I didn't go unconcious or become dazed, I was removed frorm the game obviously and sent home with no medical treatment. I can still remember events before I was injured.
Out of town and went hiking Thanksgiving day and around 3:30 slipped, fell, and in super slow-mo my head fell back and hit a boulder with loud crack. Very little bleeding, was kinda shocked and all I could think about was Natasha Richardson. Have pain on back of head, swelling, very sensitive still (Sat morn) but no weird symptoms other than neck ache and tenderness on skull. I'm in Nashville and driving home to Houston today with a stop in Louisiana late tonight.
Hey i was just playing Basketball and while contesting a rebound i got an elbow to the right side of my head. It didn't seem that bad at the time but after the game and my adrenaline went down i could feel a small bump and it was painful to the touch. The location was just above my right temple but as far as i could tell my temple was unharmed. I don't have any symptoms like burry vision or anything else besides a bump and a pain to the touch.
