I agree with AnnieBrooke. You can give it to her again. Make sure also that she drinks a lot of water and that she gets a lot of rest. Do not worry about her throwing up. Sometimes it is children's way of expelling the phlegm.

You can probably give it to her again.  If it is liquid, give it to her in two small sips, no more than a teaspoonful at a time.
