Question
What should parents do when their infant vomits with blood threads?
Answer
When an infant vomits and blood threads are present, the possible causes may include damage or infection to the digestive tract. This could be due to stomach acid or other digestive fluids irritating the esophagus. In some cases, this may also be a sign of more serious conditions, such as gastritis or peptic ulcers. If this situation is observed, parents should immediately take their child to a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, parents can take some measures to alleviate their child’s discomfort, such as keeping the child calm and comfortable, avoiding feeding or drinking water until the doctor provides advice.
