Hello! Is your daughter vomiting due to reflux? How old is she? There are many treatments for vomiting due to reflux. Knowing her age would help me to guide you to the treatment options.

Zantac is a medication that reduces acid. Sometimes reducing acid also reduces vomiting. However, it is not a medication specifically to reduce vomiting.
