HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

With a history of vomiting and diarrhea, it is likely that she has gastroenteritis which is acute inflammation/infection of the gastrointestinal tract.

This is normally caused by a viral or bacterial infection though viral infection is more common.
The main aspect of treatment would be ensuring that she uses enough fluids to replace what she is losing.

Because of the nausea and vomiting, it may be best to use small amounts initially then increase if she tolerates the small quantities.

I hope this helps
