An 8 year old child is vomiting small amounts of blood and what has the appearance of coffee grounds. what could be possible cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to ER: Coffee ground emesis(vomit) suggests that there is bleeding in the esophagus, stomach or upper small intestine. The reasons are multifactorial and require an exam. It could be serious, depending on the amount and source of bleeding. Don't delay-take your child in now.
