Urgent: 5 year old cant stop puking?

The stomach flu hit my house earlier this week and I thought my oldest daughter was spared, but she wasnt and it is hitting her hard. I am looking for a way to try and get the puking slowed down. She is throwing up about every 10 min exactly. It started about an hour ago and is not letting up at all. Nobody else had it this bad. If you know of anyway short of going to the ER please please let me know. Thanks

Update:

She started throwing up an hour ago and has done it 8 times and is down stomach bile, we are headed in right now

    The anti nausea drugs would possibly no longer harm her however the ingredient approximately young little ones throwing up is you will possibly be able to desire to visual reveal unit how long they're throwing up for. in case you don't be conscious of then they might pass undiagnosed. they might have an extremely extreme virus linked with throwing up that could be existence threatening. I analyze this whilst my 4 365 days old grew to become into throwing up and that i had those tiny little tablets that dissolve on your mouth for being pregnant nausea. there's a water attempt you're able to do. something approximately giving a new child one spoon packed with water each and every hour to ascertain in the event that they might carry it down. you could attempt googling it. If she has no different indicators then she could have nutrition poisoning or swallowed something she shouldn't have (tho at 8 years old i might think of that no longer likely). If she would not provide up after so long call her pediatrician or Dr.'s workplace. despite if this is after hours they're going to direct you to the on call pediatrician and that they might constantly inform you in the event that they think of you could convey a new child into the ER.

    If its the stomache flu it will go away that happened to my little 3 year old brother and it lasts about 2 days with him we took him to the doctor but they just said to give them lots of fluids and even if they dont wnta to eat maybe soup but only the juice no vegetables or anything. Also give them pedialyte I think is called. That will help if it doesnt stop by maybe 2 days or even tomorrow take them to the ER.

    Take her to the doctor immediately. She is too young to be vomiting that much.

    Call a doctor and ask them, not yahoo answers.
