Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what she had been experiencing lately.

Based on the history you have shared, It is most probably relating to some recent food intake whether infective due to contamination or toxin of some microorganism or related to some food allergy.

However as for now, hopefully it will resolve in a day or two but for this moment some anti emetics like dimenhydrinate or prochlorperazine can be used. Alongwith that motility agents which facilities movement of food down to lower gut like domperidone may also be help ful.

Make sure that she should only take soft diets; avoiding heavy, greasy or fatty meals which will stay more in stomach and cause more vomitings. Meanhwile oral rehydration salts should also be used to avoid salt and water defficiencies. If she doesn't improve she may be taken to soke nearby health facilities ER for intravenous fluids and anti emetics.

Wishing her quick recovery. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
