What Should Be Done For Having Blood In Vomit?
my son has some red blood in his vomit. Each of my kids has had a stomach flu for about 12 hours over the last three days. He is the only one with blood in his vomit. I don't want to over react. Do I need to take him in or just keep giving him water and rest?

Hello and welcome to health care magic,
I am assuming that the blood is not much in which case you can wait and give him bland diet without spice for a couple of weeks.
But if the blood is more and persisting then you must consult an ENT so that a proper treatment can be done
