Hi Annabella,
I'm sorry your daughter is sick. You do need to be careful as depending upon the cause it could be contagious.
Is it just vomiting? Does she have a fever? Any aches?
Can she keep any fluids down. Don't worry about food, dehydration is the primary concern at this point. Does she appear "flushed?" Is she urinating? How's the color? If she is not able to keep fluids down she should see her pediatrician.
Can she tolerate a banana? It will help settle a stomach. Don't give her any fruit juices, flat ginger ale is better. You might also try a popsicle if she can tolerate it.
