Welcome to HCM.
There are so many causes for vomiting.
It is better to go for cbc,esr,urine,stool,S.widal,usg abdomen with high resolution probe for appendicitis and intestinal movements.
Take mouth dissolving domperidone or ondencetrone with rebeprazole or pentoprazole.
Lactic acid bacillus will be helpful.
Take proper care for hydration.
Drink more water and other liquids like ors formula,buttermilk,lemon water,coconut water,fruit juices.
Keep in touch with your doctor.

Hello
I would come up with these possibilities for this case of vomiting , these includes.
1 The first possibility is of peptic ulcer disease or Hiatus hernia . Diagnosis can be confirmed by G I endoscopy.Try raising the head of bed of patient about 4 inches with blocks.It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before you lie down.To help control stomach acid one should not drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods .Also take some antacid but if vomiting is severe and frequent ( repeated) your grand daughter may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors.
2 The next reason may be allergy to certain food ( food allergy ) . Sometimes gluten or wheat act as an allergen and may develop vomiting . Allergy test help in these cases .
So in my opinion bland diet will help and consult gastroenterologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
