Hi,thanks for query.Black vomit is indicative of some bleeding inside G.I.Tract.Please do not ignore this visit a doctor .At times due to some ulceration due to food,drugs or something else this happens.Avoid giving any analgesics,ask him to take rest and give him light diet .Avoid alcohol and spicy foods,but most important visit a doctor .
