Yes, she has got a stomach bug.
Stool analysis may be done to confirm it.

She is prone for dehydration. She needs to take more fluids. Adequate urine output and moist tongue are indicators of good hydration.

She can take BRAT diet - (Banana Rice Apple sauce Toast).
She also needs to include more yogurt in her diet.
