HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider using peppermint or ginger tea instead of the water to see if either of these would help to settle her stomach.
In addition, the use of medication like dramamine or peptobismol would also help to improve the nausea as well.
She should hold off all solid food till there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms.
In most cases, the symptoms are due to viral or bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
I hope this helps
