Hi, thank you for posting.

From what you refer I can understand that your daughter has experienced a cerebral edema(brain swelling). This syndrome causes a high intracranial pressure and it is shown up with vomiting.
The prognosis is not good.
I recommend you to take her to a neurological hospital, where she will get the needed treatment.

She also needs:
1- A head Ct-scan.
2- Electroencephalography.
3- Blood test.

You should immediately consult a neuropediatrician.

As for Eptoin, I can say that this medicine is not suitable in your daughter case.

Regards.
Dr. Behar.
