There are several medications for adults and children to stop vomiting, but just a few are listed below. As you can see, some can be taken orally or by injection.
Dolasetron (ANZEMET) oral and injectable
Granisetron (KYTRIL) oral and injectable
Odansetraon (ZOFRAN) oral and injectable
Palonosetron (ALOXI) injectable

The injection was probably because your doc wanted to make sure your daughter didn't throw the meds back up and then the dosage would be all screwed up. There are many injectable versions of drugs that most people are only familiar with taking orally. You may want to search the web for anti-vomitting injections and see what medications pop up. I know there are several.

I just read a bunch of stuff in a medical book b/c my 10 month old had a cold. Yours needs to go to the doctor/hospital since she's vomiting and has the flu. You don't want to make a fatal mistake by not seeking a doctor's help. I hope she gets better soon...poor thing.

He basically gave her an anti-nausea (phenergan) medication. If she has been loosing a lot of fluids by vomiting. I'm surprised that he didn't put her on an IV or have her drink pedicare to bring her electrolytes up.
I've been given the shot when I get migraine headaches.

There's a few different types of injections to stop vomiting. Reglan and Phenergan are the first ones than come to mind. They are fairly common.

I was given a shot of phenergan once because of nausea and vomiting during a severe migraine headache.

This often leads to a prescription of Phenergan, an antiemetic that can keep your child from vomiting, but often at the price of many other side effects. In addition to making your child very sleepy, Phenergan can cause respiratory depression (which means that your child could stop breathing) and dystonic reactions, with involuntary muscle spasms.
Ps i work with a nurse who told me this...

They can give you intravenous medications to control nausea. They often give these after surgery when they know the patient is has a history of nausea. I haven't heard of shoots being given in the office for nausea though.
