Hello Customer (name blocked for privacy). Thank you for trusting us with your question.

I do not recommend you give her Pepto or Mylanta. Right now your main concern is keeping her adequately hydrated. Try using pedialyte. Have her drink as much as she wishes. Do not use any kind of soda. If she is not having diarrhea, you can give her gatorade.

Also, this condition should not last more than one day. If by tomorrow she still is not keeping her food down, you should take her to the ER and have her checked. Also, if she starts giving signs of dehydration such as tearless crying, sunken eyes, thick saliva and/or dry mouth, then you should definitely go to the ER.

I hope this answers your question. Please get back to me if you need further input.

Once again, thank you for trusting us with your question.
