Thanks for asking the query

You can give domstal baby drop.Each ml contains 10 mg of domperidone.The dose is 0.2-0.5 mg/kg/dose.
The average weight of 2 years old child is about 10-12 kgs.
The dose will be about 0.4-0.5 ml and it can be given three times a day.
If vomiting persists please consult your physician for better management.
Thanks and regards
