Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
I suggest you to give domstal 2.5ml 8 hourly After 15 minutes of medicine give some sips of water.
Do not give any other medication of your own.
In case symptoms persist get him evaluated by pediatrician for further management.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can help further.

Do not force him to eat.
Once vomiting will settle he will start accepting things.
