Absolutely: Start with clear fluids, Tylenol, and ibuprofen. Fever and vomiting dehydrate a child very quickly. If he has diarrhea with the vomiting then this is likely a virus but the fluid losses are even greater. If there's no diarrhea then the vomiting is more likely to be from an infection in his ear or lungs. If he is short of breath, wheezing, or temp stays over 101 take him to the ER or see his doctor
