What Causes Chronic Vomiting Along With Acid Reflux?
My grandson has been throwing up now for about 6 hours pretty much non stop every 5 to 15 minutes. Now he is throwing up a very dark brown liquid and sometimes quite a bit of it. Every now & then it is tinged with red and he is complaining about severe heartburn.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Dark brown vomiting must not be neglected. It is a sign of bleeding somewhere in the stomach or upper intestines. This can be commonly seen in Gastric ulcers.
Please check his stool color as well. Visit a medical facility quickly. Give him oral re-hydration solution (ORS) now which is available over the counter at your local pharmacy. But he will need urgent medical attention.
Take care,
Regards
