definitely take her to the doctor! the emergency room might be better - whichever is quicker! she could be having a reaction to something she ate (allergic or toxic)!
i wouldn't try to stop the vomiting in case she has something poisonous in her system. that's her body's way of trying to get rid of it. however, grab some pedialyte ont he way to the doctors office. try to keep her hydrated.
also, even though it's acidic, you may find that she will drink orange juice if nothing else. you can tell her that if she ends up throwing it up, it won't taste yucky like normal throw-up.

Stop giving her milk or milk products, have someone bring you some pedialyte from the store. Have her drink in tiny sips to start. Does she have a fever? Try a lukewarm bath if she does. Call the doctor and ask them for any advise or if they think you should bring her in. Most times they want you to try to wait a day or so...in case it's a 24 hr. bug.
Oh, and get off the computer and hold her as much as you can.
Good luck and hope she feels better.

get a grip! your daughter is 3 years old, how the heck would she know if she wants to go to the doctor or not. Have you forgotten that you're the thinking parent here? If you're child has been vomiting for the past three hours, at ten minute intervals, don't waste any time. TAKE HER TO DO THE HOSPITAL ER NOW! She might be having convulsions. GO NOW! Don't wait for any other answers.

Not to be rude but who is the mom here, get her to the doc asap, she can get dehydrated very quickly, or she may have gotten into something that has made her sick, you never know. Don't try home remedies as they can make it worse, get her in the car and go now, my friend almost lost her 4 year old the same way, it's not worth it

You should take her to the doctor right away. If she continues vomiting, she could get dehydrated and become dangerously ill. Also, sudden and continued vomiting could be the sign of something more serious, like accidental ingestion of something toxic, or another illness. It's best to get her to the emergency room.

Coke syrup or ginger ale will help stop nausea, but I would not wait long to get her to a doctor, she may dehydrate and that could be serious for a small child. Be safe and call the pediatrician or emergency room.

Young Mom. When a child throws up more than once in a 3 hours period you need to get them to a Ped. GO NOW. IN fact Dial 911. It's a lot quicker.

Try some pedialyte or Gatorade. Get some childrens Pepto-Bismol if that doesn't work then she will need to go to the doctors.

your best bet is to call the doc and try to get her to get some pedialyte down so she wont get dehydrated! My daughter was doing the same thing and had the squirts and we took her to the doc and she had strep throat
