Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

His options are to : try to sip a tablespoon of Pedialyte or flat Ginger-Ale ½ hour after he vomits, slowly increasing to 1 oz. every ½ hour or go to a hospital-based pediatric ER for IV fluids. You didn't mention fever, diarrhea or ingestion of an adult medication or toxin. If he is not urinating, can't tolerate frequent small amounts of clear liquids or appears lethargic, not just listless, take him to an ER.
