Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Vomiting

hello my son is severely disabled and he is fed by a peg in his tummy the past week and a half he has had diarrhoea and vomiting we were in hospital for 24 hours on Thursday night until Friday and he was put on a continues feed and his peg changed to a smaller size due to them finding it to big as it constantly bleeds and leaks, at the moment his feed is 20mls per hour and he s having 500mls so he s only having 500mls in 25 hours and his normal intake is 800 mls but for his age his intake should be 1300mls, i am just concerned he is not getting enough fluid and he has being sick twice since coming out of hospital
