Throwing up water/phelgm

At random times over the last few weeks my 4 1/2 yr old would throw up what looks like water or phelgm...only do it once MAYBE twice in a day but seem fine other wise. Friends say it could be post nasal drip running down her throat but she isn't congested? Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Momof2MA,

Since it has been a few days, we wanted to check in to see how your daughter is doing.

Has the throwing up stopped? Does she/did she have any other post nasal drip or other symptoms going on?

If this has continued please give your doctor a call to have her checked out.

She hasn't thrown up since I posted this. I have started her on some Children's Claritin and she seems to be doing better....She was a little nasally prior to taking it and missed a dose and woke up REALLY congested this morning but today had a low grade temp....This time of year is rough for a few members of our family with allergies!
