Could Vomiting And Sore Chest In A Child Be Due To Acid Reflux?

My daughter is 3yr old in May. She vomited twice this morning and complained about a sore chest...no fever. I worked out that it could be heart burn and gave her 4ml s of Gaviscon (antacid) Do you think she suffers from reflux? and what are the symptons. She also vomited on Saturday evening but not again until this morning (Monday)
