My son is 3 and has been pretty sick the last 2 days. his fever has gone down some but he isn't able to keep any food or drinks down. what do i do?

Have him seen: If your son hasn't been able to hold down any food or drinks for 2 days, he needs to be seen by his pediatrician or family doctor. Children can become dehydrated and get sicker -- better to be cautious, from your description.
