Dr. Yvette Kratzberg answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Go to ER: Any non traumatic bruising in the abdomen or back area can indicate a peritoneal or retroperitoneal bleed. This is an emergency and should be treated at an ER. The vomiting may also indicate that there is some kind of intestinal involvement.
