Basics: Ice chips or 1 ounce quantiles of sugary liquids may settle his stomach. If he gets to the point this does not help & he does not pee in 8 hrs have him seen.

Vomiting: Stop all food or fluid for one hour. Start with 1 oz of clear fluid such as 1/2 strength Gatorade. If no vomiting, gradually increase every 30 minutes until he is keeping it down for 2-3 hours. If he tolerates that, try a couple of plain crackers or a piece of dry toast. Go very gradually for several hours. If he vomits more than twice again, check with his doctor.
