Supportive for now: Any abdominal pain go to the er. This is likely a viral illness and supportive care is all required Tylenol (acetaminophen) alternating with Motrin but at this time he may vomit ( both childrens strength) and whenhe can sips of water. No milk of fatty meals. Don't force water he will throw up. However dehydration is a problem if any sign go to the ER.

Emergency Room.: When children can't stop throwing up, they can get dehydrated, and get really sick, really fast. Although Acetaminophen is generally good for fever, and nausea medication is for nausea, not being able to keep it down, requires help and probably IV hydration. Also, although stomach ache might be insignificant, there can also be a serious reason for it. Needs check up by PCP or ER.

?virus: Because of the presence of fever, a viral gastroenteritis or grippe is likely and some diarrhea may follow. However, if there Is very high fever, worsening abdominal pain and persistent vomiting, it is recommended that a physician examine him. Otherwise feeding him flat,room temperature ginger ale or Coca-Cola may help his symptoms. Light crackers like saltines May be tolerated.
