Hello ,welcome to healthcare.com
Your child has bad throat infection associated bad cough and fever and most important is having dark brown vomiting.This is definitely suggestive of acute infection of respiratory tract and associated erosive gastritis which could be due to infection or due to medicine given empty stomach.
In this situation along with antibiotics ,ant acid with anti-emetic drugs are required . Care under experts supervision in hospital is better for your child.You must see an expert for investigations and better treatment to avoid any emergency.All the best and take care.
