Depends: It sounds like he has a stomach bug & these often self heal. Ice chips & slow sips of water or hydration fluids help. If he retains enough fluid to pee every 8 hrs he can be monitored at home. If not or he really spooks you have him seen. Sometimes small amounts of applesauce or jello can also offer variety & nutritional support until his stomach settles.
