This is a serious red flag and needs immediate emergency medical attention, not home remedies. Please don't wait around or try anything at home. Take the patient to the nearest hospital casualty ward right away.

Please do not worry about the expense right now; vomiting blood is an absolute emergency. Go to a government hospital emergency room immediately if budget is an issue, as they have 24/7 free or low-cost trauma care. Please don't delay.

While looking up medical emergencies, I read that vomiting blood (hematemesis) can indeed be life-threatening depending on the source of the bleed, like an ulcer or varices. Please do not take this lightly and head to an emergency room immediately.
