Doctor evaluation: Better take her to the doctor, the problem is there for few days, does she have other symptoms too like fever, diarrhea or rash, is it her stomach or something else, that's why she needs to be medically evaluated, wish you wellness

Stomach ache vomitin: Take her to the doctor. Could be strep for which you need antibiotics or even appendicitis. Both need treatment or could have complications. It is even more important if she vomits what she drinks. Go to ER/doc today .

Medical attention: these are all symptoms of possibly something serious going on with your niece. Get her evaluated now if she is still having these symptoms as dehydration from vomiting may make the problem even worse. Also ask her if she is anxious about going back to school? Might be another source of these symptoms.
