Hi I think you should take her to a doctor immediately as she is very sleepy. For any child who is vomiting or having lots of diarrhoea DO NOT GIVE WATER on its own. Try giving Oral rehydration solution (ORS) which you can get from pharmacy. Sometimes giving water alone in this situation causes problems wiyh the salt levels in your blood which can lead to serious complications. So I strongly recommend you to seek a paediatrcian opinion as soon as possible if she still vomiting and remains very sleepy.
