Vomiting: If your child is vomiting at the rate of every half hour he will soon get dehydrated if he isn't already. Take him to doctor before it gets worse.

Why wait?: Between now and whenever, you're likely to be worried and the child is likely to begin to become more upset and there is no reason to think it will just go away very soon - it's getting worse. Also staying hydrated is very important and 2 sips is not enough. Go noe to an urgent care or er if you can't see your regular doctor (being sunday). I expect it will be okay, but this matters to you both.
