Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
Wh you are describing is not dangerous. Another diagnosis to consider, however, is a stomach virus. This commonly causes vomiting in childhood. Making sure she is well hydrated is the most important thing to do. As long as her hydration status remains normal, she will be fine, and there is nothing to be overly concerned about.
