What Disease Can Occur If Child Sufers From Eczema Type Rash?
Hi, this is regarding my 17 mo old baby. He s just been sick for the first time: throwing up. He doesn t have a fever or any other flu symptoms other than nausea. He s puked btw 5-8 times in the last hour and a half. I m concerned about the dark color of it. It s very brown close to black. It almost seems as though the mucus and bile are this dark color. No matter how much he gets sick and how empty his stomach is, it s still this dark color. He has no existing health problems: has been healthy since birth. I d say he s about 25 lbs. Can you tell me if this is symptom of anything or if I should be concerned. He has also been developing an eczema-type rash over his chest and back over the last day or so. I don t think it s related but worth mentioning: I was crediting that rash to dry skin possibly. Can you help? Thanks!
vomiting in children can be caused by early gastroenteritis ( infection of the intestines ) which is usually viral , the skin rash you mentioned mostly is not exzema, it's probably from the reaction of virus it self . the brown color you see is a very small amount of blood that is digested in the stomach and gives this brown color , it's caused by the excessive vomiting and it's called ( Mallory weiss tear ) , a small tear in the esophagus. this excessive vomiting can cause dehydration, so it's better to take him to his pediatrician to assess him and confirm the diagnosis.
