106 fever vomiting every 20 min

my daughter has had a fever and been vomiting every 20 minutes for 4 days straight. The doctor said it is just a bad body virus and could not do anything about it. Is there anything she could take to take help her?

I agree with caregiver and geminigirl.  If you haven't already gone to the ER do it right now.  

I can't imagine what would possess a doctor to say it's a "bad body virus" (whatever that means,  I've never ever heard a doc say something that vague) but this situation needs immediate attention.

caregiver is correct - you need to take her to the emergency room - fever that high and that much vomiting for so long definitely means there is something going on - not just a typical virus.  With all that vomiting and the high fever she is also at serious risk for severe dehydration.

Please take her immediately.  And let us know how she's doing, please.  Best of luck.
