Hi,

As he vomited blood, it will not be due to Vit. B12 injection. whether fresh blood vomited or blood is mixed with saliva, Having cough, decreased appetite, weight loss, fever?

Kindly follow up with detailed history to rule out any other chronic conditions.

Treatment mainly depends upon underlying condition. You may require an ultrasound abdomen, chest X-ray, lab. investigations after consultation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
