Hello,

Vomiting that cannot be controlled with oral pills should be controlled with IV( intravenous) or IM( intramuscular) injections.

Tablet emset (ondansetron) can help in stopping the vomiting but if it won’t help then, I would sugest you take her to ER for it.

You mentioned she has a fever as well, so the cause is likely infectious. So, antipyretic like paracetamol can help to bring the fever down and for infection with all medical history, appropriate antibiotics can help as per your doctor’s advice.

The doctors in ER might advise for some blood tests to be done for better understanding of the cause so that proper management can be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
