Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise for an occult blood test for your vomits, and a possible endoscopic assessment of your stomach and intestines by a gastroenterologist, apart from the ultrasound of abdomen scheduled for you. I would also advise some routine investigations for you like a CBC, blood sugar, liver function tests, clotting profile, blood urea and serum creatinine. Till then, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor and a probiotic, along with an anti-emetic if need be. An antacid gel would also be a good addition to your medications. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
