Brief Answer:
Increase fluids and nutrition.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Six times vomiting at this age, leads to severe loss of fluids and abnormal metabolism in body.
2. Give her plenty of fruit juice, cold milk and water. Half an hour, Before that give her domperidone to stop vomiting. Give good nutrition. Avoid spicy or sour foods. Give semisolid diet.
3. Also antacids to immediately reduce acidity needs to be taken. As she is on omeprazole, continue it. Fluids are essential.
4. If after this, vomiting is persistent or if she is feeling weak, dizzy or even mildly inactive, take her to ER. Check blood pressure and glucose level, if available at home. If low, need to go to ER.

Hope it helps.
