Hi,
The most common presentation of acute tonsillitis is vomiting and stomach ache. Blood stained vomiting can be possibility if the infection is bad. My advise is to start antibiotic for 5 days along with antihistamine. There is no need to give medicine for vomiting at the moment. Specially care in food, no oily, spicy, critical juices like orange or apple and cold food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
