Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually vomiting at this age can be due to indigestion, food poisoning or gastritis.
If she is otherwise active and thirsty and passing urine well no need to worry.
I usually prescribe domperidone or ondansetron before food three times a day.
Give plenty of oral liquids and electrolyte solutions like pedialyte.
This will keep her hydrated.
If she becomes dull or worsens better to visit your doctor.
Regards
Dr Arun
