Maybe: In this circumstance, you ought to contact your baby's doctor to go over the situation and decide the safest course of action. You should not rely on the kind of general advice you can get on the internet for a potential medical emergency like this.

Yes: Although most head injuries at this age are not serious, an exam is necessary to rule out any problems. Sometimes a child will vomit just from being upset and crying hard, but vomiting can also be a sign of bleeding in the skull or a concussion.
