hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
hot baths or heating pad can relive pain only for sometime and cause adverse effect on local skin area where heat is applied, and it is not specific for any disease.
there should been a reason for such chronic history of vomiting and pain.
get her properly examined by a doctor, get investigation and take medication prescribed by doctor.
