Hi! i have recently been vomitting up stomach vile (maybe for the past week) and it's not stopping. can i take pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) for it?

Yes, but...: If you've been vomiting for a solid week, I would see your doctor as soon as you can regardless. These at worst can be signs of a serious infection or an intestinal blockage. Pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) will be unlikely to help this, though it can be taken.
