Take him/her to the doctors as he/she may suffer from dehydration. I say you get the kid help. (Just a suggestion.) Immediately bring your child to a Pediatrician, a Clinic or your local Emergency Room. Your child could become dangerously dehydrated, or probably is by now, which could lead to serious complications. DON'T WAIT.

Actually, if you vomit, you SHOULD drink water, and a good bit
of it. Obviously don't drink so much that you end up vomiting
again, but diarrhea and vomiting are the 2 situations where
dehydration becomes lethal. I'd suggest to keep sipping water (no
big gulps, it'll upset both your esophagus and stomach) until you
feel comfortable in your stomach region. Any chronic vomiting or
uncontrollable/constant vomiting should be analyzed by a doctor,
and not searched on the internet. >_<

Asked in Bulimia
Is there anything that you can eat or drink to make you vomit?
If you are asking this question because you want to induce
vomiting, please talk to your parents, a teacher that you trust, or
your family doctor. The desire to induce vomiting can either be
from ingesting poison, or the belief that food is a poison. In
either case, medical supervision is the best option. The term for
this condition is bulimia. Please talk to someone before it gets
out of hand and too late to safe your life.
There are substances that someone can drink to make themselves
sick. Drinking them can be dangerous to your health so we won't
mention them here. Consuming anything to induce vomiting can could
lead to short time issues, long term disabilities or even death. I
would not advise anyone to drink any substance to make yourself ill
without direct supervision by a doctor.
Your family doctor will know what you should drink to induce
vomiting in case you are poisoned, which is the only reason you
should do so, so ask your doctor for advice.

Vomiting excessively means that you keep vomiting and

Here's a tip (if you are vomiting excessively): Drink water.
Your body needs liquids at this time. If you're worried that you'll
throw up, you won't. You can't vomit water. If you don't drink
water, you'll probably need to go to the hospital to get a certain
clear liquid inside your body to waken you up.
