Has to drink: Kids who don't feel well don't eat well. They make up for it the day they feel better, so don't worry about that. The drinking is more significant. A child who has fever, doesn't drink, and is vomiting is at risk for dehydration. Give small sips of liquid, maybe as small as a teaspoon, every few minutes. Even if he vomits, the body will absorb some. If it continues, see your doctor.

Hydration: First you has to focus on one (1) objective: make you baby drink as much as he or she can use dropper, syringe or anything that help you reach your goal divide your child weight by 2 and then multiply that number by 10 that will be the amount of fluid you will give your child in four hours if your baby do not urinate in that period of time , it will require a pediatric consultation.
