Close watching: Watch him closely. Might be viral and transient but it is hard to evaluate without seeing him in person and checking vital signs. Symptoms like these are best evaluated in person by your physician. Based on the findings, a treatment plan can be developed to help you.

Intestinal germ: These problems, for just a short time, are likely (in a healthy child) to come from a virus infecting his intestne. It is likely to go on for a couple of days. Give plenty of simple clear liquids like sports drinks instead of milk, but give small amounts frequently. If he vomits, he won't lose a lot and become dehydrated. If it goes more than 5 days or he has fever, call his doctor.
