Brief Answer:
Possible gastrointestinal tract bleeding, medical evaluation ASAP.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Bleeding from gastrointestinal tract after trauma may indicate serious conditions such ruptured intraabdominal organs, so, your brother condition should be considered as an emergency until proven otherwise.

Brownish bleeding indicates mostly blood from stomach, and in such cases medical evaluation, tests are necessary to achieve a correct diagnosis.

I suggest to get your brother at your ER.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
