Observe and if needed take him to the hospital
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
Dry heaving,abdominal pain,one episode of altered pattern of stool with lethargy all these may be prodromal symptoms of some intestinal infection(most likely viral).
I would suggest you to give him plenty of fluids,bland diet and observe.For abdominal pain you may give some antispasmodic like dicyclomine with acid reducing agents like lansoprazole or esomeprazole.
5 ml of dicyclomine syrup two to three times a day and lansoprazole tablet (15 mg) once a day will be sufficient for this age.
I am not sure if you will get these over the counter. Please check with a pharmacy nearby. Else visit a primary care provider / pediatrician and get it prescribed.
In the meanwhile if you notice that he gets more lethargic,oral acceptance is poor, decrease in urinary output and increased frequency of stool; consult your doctor immediately.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more query.
Regards
