Child Having Stomach Flu, Vomiting And Diarreah. Following B.R.A.T Diet. Is There Something Else To Do?

I have a 2 1/2 year old granddaughter with me today with stomach flu, vomiting and diarreah. I've been following the B.R.A.T diet but wondering it there is something else I can be doing as I know that OTC meds aren't suitable for children. She has been able to keep down some ginger ale, a few crackers and a bit of chicken noodle soup.
