Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
excessive vomiting may cause abrasion of the throat and give rise to blood tinged vomiting .
But yellow colored vomiting may be due to obstruction beyond duodenum ( bile stained vomiting ).
Hence it is better to consult pediatric surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and further treatment.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
