HI
Well come to HCM
Appreciate your query, underlying cause of vomiting is matter of concern rather than the appearance of vomiting because appearance of vomiting material is due to the abdomen contained and it is the diet taken, once the food gone in the it start changing in all the manner like look consistency and of course odor, still if the vomiting contained creates the doubts then it can be sent for lab test.
It is really good thought to take him to hospital.
hope this information helps.
