try ondansetron syrup
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Vomiting at this age is usually viral or food poisoning.
Did you give any outside food or water to your baby?
Any associated symptoms like loose stools or fever or abdominal pain?
How is the urine output?
You can try ondansetron syrup before food thrice daily.
I usually prescribe around 2.5 ml thrice daily for such babies in my clinic.
If your baby is active and passing urine atleast six times a day, don't worry she should be fine.
Also give her liquids like Ors solution in sips every 10 minutes or so.
This will help to prevent dehydration.
If your child becomes dull and lethargic with poor intake and poor urine output then you need to consult your pediatrician.
Wishing your child good health.

Dr Arun
