What Causes Brown Vomit In A Child?

Hi, my daughter who is 13 yrs old has vomitted twice in the span of 2 hours. It started after eating gummies and junk food. Then after she ate half an apple. After her first episode I gave her Gaviscon. Her vomit is brown in color. I appreciate your time and answer. Thank you very much. Dino

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting up your query at HealthCareMagic. Brown vomitus may indicate altered blood which could be caused due to bleeding from a gastric ulcer. I would insist you to visit a doctor. In addition to graviscon, medicines like sucral-o syrup should give her relief.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
