You need to let his: stomach rest longer.Hold off on any fluids or solid foods for at least 2 hours from the last episode of vomiting.Then start with sips of clear sweet fluids,such as Pedialyte or Gatorade,or licks of a popsicle or lollipop.If tolerated,you can advance to larger amounts of fluids,slowly.No solids till he's keeping down all fluids.Watch for dehydration,by looking at urination.See his doctor if conts.
