My son is vomiting after he fell on some gravel and skinned his knee?

Question

my 8 yr old son was running and fell on some gravel and skinned his knee's pretty good,afterwards he cried pretty hard,and started to have a headache and vomit,is this normal?

Answer 1

If when he fell he hit his head on the gravel, then the vomiting can be a problem. You should call his doctor.

If he didn't hit his head, and just his knee, the vomiting may not have anything to do with it. He may just be coming down with something now, or he cried so much that he upset his stomach. Good luck

Answer 2

Did he hit his head?  If he hit his head then you should watch out for a concussion.  I have had one of these before and they are not fun.  Make sure that he does not go to sleep for about 2 hours after this happened if he did hit his head.

Answer 3

If he hit only his knee no it is not normal. He could have became so upset that he caused himself to get sick. If he hit his knee and his head he may have a concussion.

Answer 4

He probably just cried so much that it made him feel sick. It's okay. As long as he didn't bang his head he's okay. If he did hit his head, he could have a concussion.

Answer 5

yeah, take him to the ER or dr. just in case.

also, you know when you get a bad injury, and you kinda feel like you're gonna faint or puke, that MIGHT be it but still take him to the dr JUST IN CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

I wouldn't be worried. He just got himself so worked up he vomited.

Answer 7

if he's vomiting, he probably has a concussion.  you may want to call the doctor.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Doesn't sound like it.

Headache and vomiting are usually signs of either a head or spine injury. You should take him to a hospital immediately to have him looked over by a doctor. Try not to move him around too much though.

Answer 10

He's probably just upset and got so worked up it made him sick.

Answer 11

He probably cried so much it made him vomit.  You shouldn't worry about it unless something continues after a few hours.
