Brief Answer:
Give 10ml of Ondem syrup

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern

This might suggest acute gastritis or a prodrome of acute gastro-enteritis(bowel infection).

For vomiting, you can give 10ml of Ondem syrup 2-3 times daily. Give this 1 hour before food.
For abdominal pain, you can give 5ml of Paracetamol suspension(250mg/5ml) 3 times daily, after food.
Also, let her have a soft diet and avoid spicy/fried items and pickles. Give food in small frequent amounts.

Continue these measures for 48-72 hours. She will be alright by then. If not, or if she develops additional symptoms, let me know

I hope this answer will help
Let me know if I can assist you further
Regards, Dr Aslam
