Brief Answer:
This could be food poisoning!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for contacting us at healthcare magic.

I have reviewed your information fully and this is suggestive of a possible food poisoning. This is often common when food is poorly prepared or stored especially when eaten out of the home. The good news is that after vomiting and passing out the indexed food, she would be okay. The main treatment is for her to drink as much water as possible so as to avoid getting dehydrated. No drugs are required at this time unless something else sets in.

I hope this helps. I wish your daughter well. Feel free to follow up with me. Keep me updated about her progress.
