Brief Answer:
Vomiting for a week Needs workup

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Vomiting is usually due to viral infection or food poisoning.
If so it should have settled in a week.
As your child is already suffering for a week do take her to a nearby health centre to rule out intra abdominal infections or urinary infections.
Antibiotics and probiotics may be required.
Ondansetron can be given before food to decrease vomiting.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
