What Should An Infant With Stomach Infection And Vomiting Be Fed? How To Improve His Eating Habits?

Hello doctor,

My son have stomach infection and is vomiting since yesterday. Doctor has given him Emeset for vomitting and Cyclopam for stomach pain. He has some releif in vomit but he is getting fever in small intervals and is not eating anything. I am breast feeding him and that's is his only intake in last two days.

I wanted to know two nthings:-

1). What should i give him to eat and when should i start giving him normal food.
2). How to improve his eating habits as he doesn't seem to be interested in any food.

Thanks!

Regards
Neha
