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.

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.
