Suggest Treatment For Vomiting

My 6 year old daughter has been vomiting every 10 - 20 minutes for the last 10

hrs. Her saliva is all that is left to throw up. Is there something over the counter I can give her? I'm afraid it would need to be a supppository because anything oral would come right back up.

Hi.... there are no suppository medications which are antiemetics. I feel that she is in the starting phase of viral illness which might end up in diarrhea. I suggest you get her examined by a physician so that dehydration may not be missed and appropriate treatment can be given.

Meanwhile if vomiting is incessant, then the other option is giving antiemetic like ondansetron by intramuscular route injection.
