Hello,

Ideally she needs to be prescribed some anti emmetic like domperidone for the symptomatic releif from vomiting .

As such antibiotics are not necessary in most of the cases .

The main complication is dehydration which needs to be checked .

Continue to give her fluids like gatorade or pedialyte

The symptoms are suggestive of stomach flu also called viral gastroenteritis .
