Hello. My 2.5 year old son fell at his daycare today. He hit his chin and has a pretty bad cut (no stitches needed). The daycare put ice on it for 10 minutes then put a band aid with some Neosporin on it after. All of this was around 4pm. He seemed completely fine when I got him home. He was up running around and playing like his normal self. I changed the band aid twice before he went to bed around 9. About 2 hours before his bedtime he has 2 diapers full of diarrhea (normally he only poops once, maybe twice a day, this was poppy diaper #4 for the day, first 2 were solid). And right as he got into bed he had a coughing fit and then puked everywhere. Should I be worried about a head injury or is this ok?
Hello, A blow to any region of the head has the potential to temporarily cause increased pressure within the head. When this occurs, sometimes the child can vomit. If the head injury is mild, then there may only be 1-2 episodes of vomiting. Other signs to watch for after a head injury
