My four year olds vomit is dark brown, he has vomitted three times tonight, and is now sound asleep. I have done some googling, and it suggests the cause to be blood in the GI tract. I will plan to take him to the dr. tomorrow, but am wondering if it is something that is more urgent?
Hi... I agree that it could be due to blood in the GI tract or mild gastritis or an ulcer. But an ulcer is highly unlikely in this age group. If you could be due to any Chat Doctor. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Nevertheless, you take him to a doctor tomorrow. But if he develops the above signs then you take him to the nearest emergency room immediately. Regards -
