Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX

You son is suffering from bacterial gastroenteritis which is also causing fever along with vomiting and diarrhea. during gastroenteritis you have to take care of the dehydration. give plenty of fluids preferably ORS or pedialite solution.

It is recommended to visit pediatrician as he needs antibiotic for elimination of infection and stool complete analysis for identifying th causative organism

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

Thanks
Regards
