Dealing with the "Barfmeister"
Augie is a 2 yr old Australian Shepherd who clearly has a "fussy tummy". A few times per week I find myself cleaning up barf :-( He gets fed twice a day, dry food (Diamond Naturals "All Life Stages"...

With nasal and sinus issues you almost always see or hear breathing issues or "reverse sneeze."
The foamy phlegm is more likely excess saliva that was produced before vomiting where nausea was happening.
Regular vomiting could be nothing but also could be a sign of more serious problems (chronic pancreatitis for example). You might have a blood panel and urinalysis run just to rule out more serious issues. If everything is normal I usually recommend changing foods. There are some OTC anti-nausea meds and some more intensive prescription meds if necessary.
BTW, Kaylee has chronic pancreatitis and is on low fat diet, no table food and Ondansetron daily. It has controlled her vomiting to the point where it's unusual rather than frequent.
