A GI illness may be prolonged and viral gastroenteritis may have a duration two weeks. Keep your daughter well hydrated, decrease dairy products and a probiotic is often effective. Another possible cause is pneumonia and continue to watch for signs of fever and cough. If the vomiting continues, please let your Pediatrician know and watch for signs of bile and bleeding.

Yes, it is certainly possible for the symptoms to wax and wane and persist longer than you would like them to. The most important thing is to maintain adequate hydration. The urine should be pale yellow in color. See your doctor if there is any sign of bleeding or if you are unable to result in maintaining hydration. Good luck.
