Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for your query.

Soda contains dissolved carbon di oxide in the fluid. In case of excess consumption, this carbon di oxide could be released to cause distention of the stomach. The body would have tried to expel this extra gas by taking her vomit out the extra contents. With the time as the gas gets absorbed gradually the vomiting tendency should reduce.

Hope that helps.
