What Causes Vomiting Up Of Blood Along With High Fever In A Toddler?

My 2 year old woke up with a pool of blood in his mouth and crusted blood around his mouth. He has been fighting a virus for 5 days now. No injuries to the mouth and nasal area. He has been vomiting no blood there though. Fever of course in all ranges low grade and high fever, the highest was 103.8 so far. He has been lethargic at times, doesn t want to play or eat. His poop was black.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your toddler have symptoms of vomiting up of blood along with high fever which seems to be due to infection either by viral or bacterial microorganism. It seems to be due to impaired immunity of body as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take combination of anti-inflammatory medication Cetirizine along with Ibuprofen. Avoid intake of outside food. You should take Azithromycin as well as it could be the case of co-infection. Visit General physician once and get it examined. Get blood tests done if symptoms keeps on persisting. Do tepid sponging as well. Drink plenty of liquids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
