Hello and welcome to HCM,
Recurrent vomiting not associated with any kind of gastrointestinal tract infection is suggestive of some kind of obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
Presence of bile in the vomitus indicates that the obstruction is present somewhere beyond the opening of bile duct.
An ultrasound abdomen is required to assess the abdominal organs and presence of any obstruction and the site of obstruction.
Since, your daughter is repeatedly vomiting, there are chances are dehydration thus maintain her hydration by giving her fluids e.g. ORS and maintain her nutrition also.
Consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment without delay.

Thanks and take care
