What Causes Persistent Vomiting And Weight Loss While Treating Allergy?

Should I take her to an ear, nose and throat specialist? I do not know how to help her or where to go.
It could be Gastroesophageal reflux or Eating disorder
Detailed Answer:
Hi.....by what you quote I feel she's having a Gastroesophageal reflux rather than an allergy or vomiting due to post nasal drip.
I have a few questions for you...
1. Does she vomit every time she eats or only in the morning?
2. Is there any history of allergy of any sort (like persistent sneezing/ wheezing / coughing) in her or in the family?
3. Does she cough and vomit or does it without coughing?
4. What is her exact date of birth, current weight and height?
5. Does she have any problems in school or is she scared?
6. Does she eat more at times and eat less at times?
7. Do you feel that she is more concerned about her body image off late?
8. Do you feel that anybody is ridiculing her that she's over weight?
9. Does she have any chronic fever or cough?
10. Is anybody in the family has tuberculosis or being treated for it?

No problems at school...a good student, athlete and has many friends. We do not have a family history of allergies as such. This is new and worrisome to us.
No one has had tuberculosis. She has never had a fever or pain due to this vomiting.
She is at her worst in the morning.
What type of specialist should I take her to?
You need to consult a gastroenterologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi.....coming to your query directly, you need to seek the Consultation of a Gastroenrerologist.
Why I am saying this is sometimes, the gastric acidity in the stomach comes up the esophagus and gets aspirated into the Lungs and causes intense cough and breathlessness and in turn it will cause vomiting and weight loss.
