Dear parent, you should give an antiemetic other than primperane as it is contraindicated in children. you should give an oral rehydration solution to avoid dehydration , 5 tea spoons for every pound of child's weight after each time she vomits. offer only soft and easily swollen food as soap and yoghurt
