My son fell off his bike and hit his stomach on the handlebars. He came in the house and laid down, complaining of his stomach hurting. He hit about 2-3inches above his bellybutton. He said he didn't feel good and fell asleep. I talked to the dr and she said that he should be fine, but take him in if it still hurts in a couple of days. About half an hour ago he woke up vomiting. He says it doesn't really hurt anymore, just that he feels sick. His sister and I were both sick the other day, but my other son is perfectly healthy still. Could this be related to the fall or could he have just caught what we had? Should I have him checked out? He is almost 7 years old, by the way. Thanks!
Yikes...I really hope it's not serious!

I don't really feel like anything is wrong, but I can't help but worry. There was no blood in his vomit. He has been staying up later than this, not by too much, but it was his first day back to school after spring break, and he came home and played outside for awhile, so he may have been worn out. When he woke up after he vomited, he was very alert and talking to me before we got him settled back down and he is sleeping again. We may be visiting the dr tomorrow!
 
I would listen to the doctor, but you say he fell asleep. It is abnormal for him to be asleep at this time? And when he vomited was there blood in it or anything? If there is blood in it, I would go to the hospital. If not then, just keep checking on him.
You should follow your gut instinct though, if you feel something is wrong then don't hesitate to take him to get looked at.

I can't figure out how to reply again, so anyways, I wouldn't worry for now. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, just keep an eye on him like you would any other injury. He probably will be bruised for a few days, maybe a little swollen. If it hurts try advil or another pain killer, but apart from that I wouldn't worry too much.
 
Same thing happened to a kid I know...his pancres was all messed up...2 months in hospital no joke
