Hi,

He should go to the emergency department since he is dehydrated and needs fluids. He will also need some blood tests and other possible tests to see if he has a bacterial infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. ALICE TURNER, Pediatrician
