I believe it is important to determine what is causing the nausea. That would be the best thing that you could do to help your daughter. Otherwise it's just a guessing game. There are many things that can cause nausea following meals in the pediatric patient and this is often related to what the child is eating and either allergy or intolerance of that particular food. Since this is happening once in a while, you should begin by keeping a diet diary history to see if you can pin down what particular food may be causing the problem. If there are any signs of vomiting or weight loss. You really should be taking her to her pediatrician
Nausea in someone so young must be thoroughly investigated by her pediatrician.
