How can you treat vomiting caused by a concussion?

Go to Emergency Room: Concussions are brain injuries. Repetitive vomiting is a worrisome symptom which needs to be evaluated quickly. After the emergency room has established it is caused by a concussion and not the more worrisome brain swelling (usually by checking a ct scan of the brain) medication can be given to control the vomiting.

Go to the ER: Vomiting after a head injury may indicate something more serious like a bleed in the brain and is a medical emergency. If you have had a ct scan and there is not a bleed, then nausea and vomiting following a concussion can be treated with anti-vomiting medications such as Zofran or phenergan (promethazine).

CONCUSSION: There are many medications the can used to treat post-concussion nausea. Although nausea is a common symptom, it may also indicate a more severe head injury. Rest, fluids, "brain rest" & symptom relievers. BUT if symptoms persist or worsen, prompt ER follow up would be appropriate.
