See Your Doctor Now: Your child has tiredness, weakness following 6 days of an assumed "stomach bug". It is not possible to give you any predictions regarding your son's illness without proper medical assessment by a doctor. Be aware children have limited verbal skills; cues to severity or worsening are easily missed. A wait and see approach spells danger. Please see your doctor now for proper diagnosis and treatment.
