HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An anti emetic (medication to stop vomiting) would be helpful.
Examples of anti emetics that may be available over the counter are: pepto bismol, emetrol.
There are others but they are normally used for vomiting associated with motion sickness eg dramamine and meclizine
In addition to the anti emetic, the use of probiotics would help to repair the stomach and intestinal lining.
There are different types that may be available at your local pharmacy or she can use yogurt that contains probiotics.
She should avoid aggravating foods such as milk, spicy foods.
She also needs to keep up her fluid intake by consuming small amounts of fluid at a time. If she drinks a lot she may vomit , so she should use small amounts every few minutes. If she tolerates using small amounts then she can increase what she takes.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any additional questions
