Hello,
The symptoms of daughter seem to be related to a haemorrhage not the upper gastrointestinal tract. I recommend you to go to the emergency room for further evaluation. A complete blood count and a stool test should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
