General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic with your concerns.

Yes, it is okay to give Zofran. Giving 8mg will probably be more effective. If she doesn't get better, you should probably take her to the ER to get IV fluids to prevent her from getting dehydrated.

I hope I was able to answer your questions. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
