Brief Answer:
Ondansetron syrup; consult her pediatrician...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If your daughter is active and afebrile then generally the condition improves. However the episode of vomiting concerns me. In this context, I will suggest to start an antiemetic drops like ondansetron in the dose of 0.15mg/kg. Continue the medications already given.

Keep the breast feed going until she is seen by the pediatrician.

Hope this answers your question.

Regards
