If this is more than just a one type occurrence (if it happens almost every time she drinks the milk) - she could be allergic to milk.  I had a milk allergy when I was a child and the vomiting and stomach pain were two of my main symptoms - I also had horrible headaches and leg pains.

My allergy has gotten much better, however, I still find that I have trouble if I consume too much dairy at a time - headache, dizziness, upset stomach - so I have to be careful about how much I consume.  Ty[ically I cannot have a glass of milk and an ice cream in the same day or I'll feel sick.

Mine is more than a simply lactoce intolerant - I have the same problem even if I use the lactose free dairy produts.

As I said, this MAY be the problem if this happens every time your daughter drinks milk.  However, if it is a one type happening, chances are something she ate/drank just didnd't settle well on her stomach or she may have a stomach virus.

I hope she feels better soon.
