My daughter is 4 years old. She is having a gastro intestinal viral infection n is throwing up frequently. She is prescribed motillium. I gave her the prescribed dosage now but she vomitted again immediately. Should i feed her the medicine again or wait for the next dosage time??

Vomiting within 30 mins of giving a medicine causes all of it to be expelled from the stomach,and therefore the dose has to be repeated.
