The signs of dehydration are worsening and your daughter is in need of immediate starting of intravenous fluid and antiemetic injection with antibiotics to control worsening of further systemic parameters.
Till that time, if on board, emergency medicine kit is containing dispersible ondansetron tablet can be given sublingually to the angel with sips of water and start oral rehydration salt at 15 minutes interval till you reach the primary care center with an indoor facility.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
