Hi, thanks for your question, I have read it and understand your concerns.

Answer: Co-trimoxazole can cause nausea & vomitting and trouble sleeping.

It is also possible that the infection, for which this medication was prescribed, is significantly contributing to her problems. Infection in the body can disrupt sleeping and make one puke.

She needs to consume enough fluids to remain hydrated. In case the vomiting is not stopping, she needs to be taken to the doctor to get clinical assessment of her condition and receive proper treatment for vomiting and the related problems.

Hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to ask for any further clarification.
