Your son is probably suffering from acute gastro enteritis. Most commonly it is due to a viral cause. The cause does not need to be treated and becomes ok in 3-7 days without any treatment. But the loss of salt and water from the body needs to be replenished. ORS has to be given to prevent dehyration. You can give curd or yogurt but avoid milk based products for a week or so. Give him Ondem (ondansetron) syrup to relieve his vomiting. Decolic syrup will relieve his abdominal pain.
