HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The vomiting may be related to the illness or a side effect of the antibiotic.
Antibiotics are associated with gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarhoea. The use of probiotics would reduce these symptoms.

The probiotics can be used on their own or in yogurt.

The sticky substance is likely mucus from her infection. It is not usual to see this in the vomitus.

If she is active and playing that is good. You can continue the medication as prescribed, add the probiotics and monitor for any other vomiting episodes.

I hope this helps
