HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the nausea and vomiting may be related to an infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
This is the most common cause and can be viral or bacterial.

In most cases, the infection resolves on its own with only symptomatic treatment eg fluids and medication to help the vomiting
Only a small amount of fluid should be used at time initially, if a lot is used, it would cause vomiting.

Initially only 1 tsp to 1 tbs should be used every 5 minutes, if tolerated, the amount can be increased
Sports drinks such as gatorade should be used to give back both fluids and electrolytes.

I hope this helps
