Hi,

Hemetemesis meaning blood in vomitus can be due to esophageal varices or gastritis and dudenitis.
- Hemoptysis meaning blood while coughing.
- Since your Father was diagnosed throat cancer 7 years ago means he is a cancer survivor.
- The cause can be local inflammation or so and needs a proper evaluation by Upper GI Endoscopy.
- Laryngoscopy also needs to be done.
- Relevant tests of blood and urine.
- X-ray of chest and CT scan of if needed.
- Ultrasound of abdomen for any varices.
- Symptomatic and supportive treatment.
Further management will be as per the cause found and can be treated medically and/or surgically as the condition may be.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
