Workup and Mgt: The treatment of sinusitis can take weeks to effectively treat a sinus infection. Vomiting may be due to another infection such as pneumonia, secondary to swallowed drainage and a number of other conditions. I would advise a clear liquid diet for one day, and following up with your pediatrician. I also would advise checking her temperature a few times during the day and pm.
