Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Waiting for so long is not a good idea for 22 month old person. You need to know that kids has much weaker organisms than adults. So any disease is much more dangerous for such young person.
Vomiting and diarrhea leads to dehydration (you are not able to give her enough fluids when she vomits and has diarrhea) what can be life threatening. You may notice weakness, dry mouth and low urine amount in case of dehydration.

I suggest you to do not wait anymore and take your kids to the doctor and have stool tests and blood work done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
