Could be any: Chances are that your daughter has contracted one of the several viruses circulating in your home. Identification of which one is likely unnecessary as treatment is supportive in nearly all viral infections (maintain hydration, treat discomfort, rest, etc.

Likely same virus.: Likely same virus. Type unknown until specific testing. Treat with plenty of fluids and acetaminophen. See physician if fever does not improve, vomiting persists or otherwise not improving. Hope that helps.

Likely same virus: Most probably it is the same virus infection in both the children. Only one vomit does not suggest another infection .Your daughter may start coughing later on .Coughing ,diarrhea and vomiting and fever are the common symptoms in respiratory viral infections .Watch your daughter for her symptoms and talk to your doctor .
