A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fluids, food: Sounds like he has a viral stomach bug - lots of them going around this time of year. First is to keep him well hydrated - water, gaterade type products, oral rehydration products such as pedialyte if he'll drink it. Then begin refeeding asap if not vomiting - compley carbs and proteins - pasta, eggs, peanut butter, toast. Finally, probiotics (pills or probiotic yogurts) and zinc supplement helps.
