Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

You have not mentioned the age of your daughter. In children during the respiratory tract infection, more than usual sputum might get swallowed by the child, which might come out as a vomit. However, some children vomit out due to the unacceptable taste of the medicines. If I were your child's doctor, I would advise more for steam inhalation, and replace the tablets with syrup if I feel this to be responsible for the vomiting.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
