Hi my 6 year old has been vomiting every half an hour for the last 10 hours, he can t keep even sips of water down. There are tiny brown flecks in his vomit (which now is just yellow), he probably has gastroentritis which I understand nothing much can be done about, but what are the brown flecks?
Hi.... I understand your concern. Because of gastritis there might be small capillary leakage of blood into the stomach. The acid in the stomach will turn that into brown flecks, that is what you are noticing in his vomit. If the kid is otherwise active and playful and not deny Chat Doctor. Regards -
