Can Children S Chewable Gravol Cause Vomiting Brownish?
Hi...my 21 month old has caught a stomach bug from a playmate...she s been throwing up for the past few hours (vomiting stops if she doesn t drink anything)...it s been pretty clear vomit the last couple times (due to water) but the last time it was sort of brownish but didn t resemble blood...I gave her a half of a children s chewable gravol before that...could the color be because of the gravol?

the recurrent vomiting can cause a small tear in the lower part of esophagus which causes small amount blood to pour and be digested by the stomach and that gives a brown color to the vomit . it's called a Mallory weiss tear and you don't have to worry about it .
what you need to do is to prevent dehydration to happen from the recurrent vomiting which is done by water , soaps, cleat fluids, because even if the child vomits it , about half of it will stay and be absorbed .
I hope this helps
