What Could Cause Pink Colored Vomit?
Hi. My 4 yr old daughter has been sick 3 times this week. When she is sick her vomit is pink in colour and smells quite sweet. She does not drink anything bar water and milk and has not eaten anything that I think would turn it that colour. She shows no signs of being ill what s so ever bar being sick.many thanks

Hi....this could be due to a mild capillary leak in the gastric mucosa or the esophagus due to the retching she might have had while vomiting. If she's active and her usual self, you need not worry.
