make sure he stays hydrated, if the infection has caused him to lose that much fluid, hydration should be your main concern. some infections are self limiting and patients recover in a day or two, but if he continues to lose fluid it would be better to take him to the ER. after the infection subsides make sure he takes soft diet as the intestines become fragile after an infection
