What Causes Headache And Vomiting Of A Child?

My 2.5 year old daughter was about to sleep when she complained of a headache, she was screaming and clutching her head. Then she started throwing up. Then she became drowsy and fell asleep. That was an hour ago, now while sleeping she coughed and threw up again and fell asleep. This happened to her exactly a week ago, we rushed her to the ER and they put an IV into her, she threw up til 12 midnight last week and seemed fine after. What is this?

This can be a type of convulsions. The child will need blood investigation like serum glucose, calcium and electrolyte. Complete blood count and neuroimaging to arrive at a diagnosis.
