Hello
Welcome! Thanks for the question posted. I would be pleased to answer your question .

The Nausea at her age can be due to many reasons: Gastritis , oesophagitis , ENT problem( ear drum issues ) a common condition called Benign positional Vertigo( which I see you have mentioned as BPV) .

You will need to get her examined by the Doctor for these . Just Domstal may not help much . You will need to put her on a good course of an anti acidity medication , some lactobacillus .
She might also need to be prescribed a combination medication for the BPV from the ENT doctor .

Thanks and take care
