Hi,
As per her symptoms, it looks like your daughter is suffering from an upper respiratory infection and some associated gastritis. Though antacids and anti -emetics can control the vomiting, I think she needs to get investigated for the headaches she has been experiencing on a recurrent basis along with vomiting. Sinus problems also should be excluded. Consult her pediatrician on the need for a CT scan or MRI of the brain. Deworming is done once every three months for children and it should be a family treatment. not only the child. You can try vaporizing to relieved the cold and this also helps to clear the sinuses. Hope this helps. Take care.
