I don't think this is a true question. Even after your child hit his head and vomitted, you're first reaction is to come to Yahoo Answers? Even if you wanted to get on the internet to find out what to do, there is WedMd and many similar FIRST AID and medical related websites.
for the people who gave the advice of not letting a person with a concussion go to sleep, that is based on old outdated information. What is next, bleeding him like they did George Washington?
Here is just a small bit that I found online about that.
Myth: Keep someone awake who has had a recent concussion.
Fact: A person who has had a concussion may sleep through the night.
You do not need to keep awake a person with a recent concussion. This was recommended for years to observe a person for any changes after a concussion. People worried that the person may go into a coma and never wake up. This is no longer believed to be true. You can allow someone to sleep after a concussion. This should cut down on sleep deprivation for all involved.
People with concussion should be seen by a doctor if they were unconscious for more than 5 minutes or amnesia persists or if they do not appear to behave normally.

the same thing happened to my child - turned out she had an ear infection and didn't feel well which was why she bumped her head - vomited because she was ill- does he have a head ache? are his puples the same size ? is he acting himself?( besides the vomiting) is he fevered ( indication of illness) does the area of the bump feel soft and mushy? these will help you decide if he is injured with concussion or ill most dr will speak on the phone to you if yu call the answering service and leave message.

You need to go to the doctor or local ER. He needs to be looked at.

I think that that is a concussion. You should take him to the doctor just in case.

Some people are just stupid! Do you not have the money to pay the medical bill, and that's why you want to make sure its def. serious before you go to the doctor? If people on the internet told you he would be find, would you stay home? This is YAHOO ANSWERS! CALL A DOCTOR. Duh! Man...some people should not be allowed to breed!
