Welcome to the Chat Doctor I completely understand your concerns. But don't worry. The symptoms of your child are suggestive of angioedema. It's a condition which occurs due to allergic response of body in the form of subcutaneous swelling especially involving face, extremities and bowel wall. The stomach pain and vomiting occurs as a result of it. The cause can be any allergen present in the food she has been introduced too recently. The management requires antihistamines such as Chlorpheniramine along with anti-emetic (Ondansetron) and antacid (sanitizing). Hopefully this will help you. Take care
