Dear
I can understand your concern .
I would like to inform you that with episodes of recurrent vomiting and loose stool she may develop dehydration and certain electrolytes imbalance .
This dehydration may cause injury to kidneys and is important cause of acute renal failure .
Electrolyte imbalance can cause muscle weakness and rhythm disturbances in heart .
Request her to drink plenty of water or oral rehydration salt solutions to prevent this.
Discuss this with your physician about this and get her checked for the exact cause of vomiting and loose stool.
Hope this will help you . If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me . Thanks for contacting HCM .
I find this answer helpful
