Ask for emergency medical help
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
In this case you need a medical help.
They both require intravenous antibiotics and Intravenous fluid therapy.
There is no point in waiting, you should take them to a hospital.
Even if you can not drive, call emergency services.
See, you have to understand, in persons who are not vomiting and there vitals are stable, we start them on oral antibiotics, but since your husband is vomiting, the antibiotics won't help.
And you son has massive diarrhea, he would lend into dehydration and shock, if this continues.
Please call for emergency services.
If you have any further query, please ask me, else close the discussion and rate it.
