Your daughter should have a strep test done. If it's positive, remain on the antibiotics. There is a flu test that's also available-- It works the same as the strep test, except the swab is put in the nose. I would have both done. Kids vomit a lot more than adults (I also have a 5 year old). In the meantime, I would try Tylenol and children's Pepto Bismol tablets.
