hello dear thanks for your query at Hcm.
vomitins can be due to gastritis , which means inflammation of stomach due to infection.
once infection comes under control vomiting will qlso subside .
child is feeling tired because she is not taking proper amount of nutrition due to gastritis .
1 give her plenty of water

4 avoid spicy and junk food
5 give fruit juices
this will decrease symptoms .
if not subsiding , increasing vomiting take her to doctor .
regards
