Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.
First thing to observe is to avoid dehydration....start giving him plenty of boiled water mixed with ORT powder sip by sip....
Give easily digestible,non residual(fiberless)diet in very small servings.two or three times a day only.Lemon water with sugar&pinch of salt/light tea black coffee /butter milk with salt&sugar sago pudding or nicely cooked semisolid rice with salt,ajwain &a bit of clear butter would do./coconut water.
- Give him a tablet of Gelusil MPS to suck & Tab.Dependal M , half pill three times a day..(over the counter.)
Most of the times vomiting stops .&loose motion is controlled within a couple of days.
*If it does not OR if he shows signs of dehydration(sunken eyes/dry mouth/wrinkled skin,feeling of guidiness /vomitting is not controlled...he needs I.V fluids or specific medication in dosage suitable for his health(To be decided after physical examination.
In such a case take him to his doctor/ ER for necessary advise.
I hope that helps .Any follow up query is welcome.
