HI

Thanks for posting your query.

It seems like he has sustained infection of the stomach. Infection could be due to Virus or bacteria. Most of the viral infections are self limiting and will go off in 2-3 days . So just give me tylenol for 2 days and observe .

If fever or Stomach pain persists there is a high possibility that he could be having Bacterial Infection of his gut. In that case you need to take him to a doctor who shall do certain blood tests and prescribe him the right antibiotic.

Till then give him hot water to drink, less oily food and no non veg food .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
