Hi,

I have gone through the medical history of your husband and understood your concerns.

Your husband is going through an acute gastroenteritis (bowel infection) most probably viral.

That is not serious unless his symptoms will get more and more aggravated.
I advise to:
- give him plenty of fluids (water with oral rehydration salts (ORS), soups, juice, yogurt)
- if can't keep anything, just give plain water with ORS
- if he is no vomiting anymore, give tasectan and probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora

If still vomiting, then, should send to ER for iv fluid replacement.

Wish fast recovery.
