1 What happens in the body?

Let's analyze the mechanisms of this unpleasant phenomenon. When vomiting occurs, food in the digestive tract leaves through the mouth( in some cases, it tries to exit through the nose).Black vomiting can have a reddish tinge: it is caused by the fact that hydrochloric acid hematin begins to react with blood and hydrochloric acid, which is contained in gastric juice.

2 Vomiting in young children: is it worth it to panic?

An unpleasant symptom can occur in toddlers. In infancy, the child only adapts to the outside world. It happens that infants on breastfeeding swallow a lot of air, in connection with this they have vomiting. When the children's body rejects the air, it takes out through the mouth and particles of food. If the baby vomited once, while the mass was normal( without pus, blood), do not panic. Note that vomiting in children can be accompanied by an increase in temperature: in this case, it is urgent to call a doctor!

Vomiting in a child may contain blood clots. Pay special attention to the baby: show it to the doctor and in no case do self-medication. Brown vomiting in a baby can lead to shock( this is due to loss of blood).Shocking is accompanied by chills, acceleration of the pulse, thirst, loss of appetite. An unpleasant symptom can last 1-2 hours, while the baby can feel severe pain in the abdomen. If vomit masses in color as a coffee grounds, it means that the blood was in the esophagus for a long time and began to be digested.
