Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I wish to ask a number of questions:
-how long has the vomiting been going on?
- has there been any weight loss?
-diarrhea?
- fever?
-headaches?
-does your niece take medicines?
Allergies are frequently treated with antihistamines. And antihistamines can cause vomiting. Vomiting upon waking in the morning can be a sign of a growth inside the head. I am most concerned about this and therefore urge you or your sister-in-law to take your niece to her primary care physician as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
