Hello,

* Apart from measures taken by you as above, she requires immediate consultation with the pediatrician for

- Prescription of ondancetron syrup (anti-emetic) to control vomiting to be given with sips of water (5 ml) every 6 hourly.
- GI specific antibiotic as cefixime or others as per the clinician choice (metronidazole may flare up vomiting by metallic mouth and would be second choice 0

* Many times intravenous fluids and hospitalization is also warranted to prevent severe dehydration if the oral therapy does not give promising results within few hours.
