Hi I have a 7 month old baby that is 100% gtube fed. He also had a nissen fundo. We have problems with retching with vomit (despite nissen). This happens every five days or so. Today I noticed very small round black "dots" in his residuals and vomit. What could the black specs be? Blood?
Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. The black dots in the vomit may be altered blood. Lab test may confirm whether it is blood. This occurs due to repeated vomiting and retching because of injury to mucous membrane of the throat. Contol vomiting with Chat Doctor. Hope this reply is Ok for you. Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
