Hello,

Your baby is suffering from acute gastroenteritis, start an antiemetic drug like Ondansetron for vomiting, maintain hydration with ORS. Give her probiotic like Enterogermina, Ecoall, or Econorm to cover loose stools, and syrup zinc also.

Monitor her urine output, mental status, oral intake, as baby may require hospitalization if dehydration occurs.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
