What Causes Hematemesis In Children?
Hi there, my four year old son is vomiting brown vomit and it smells like blood. It also looks like dark chocolate if he continues to vomit. I am 100% sure what my son is vomiting is blood but I didn t know what is causing it and how to treat. He only drinks small amount of water, juice and milk. And just after he drinks, he vomits. Any advice is highly appreciated.

Dear mom! Are you sure your son did not swallow any foreign body?Emergency department is the next step. Blood analysis, clotting factors, fibroscopy of upper gastrointestinal tract, will reveal the cause!
take care!
