Brief Answer:
He needs to have CT and/or Ultrasound of abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: sorry about the troubles, please note that he may have gall stones that have blocked his gallbladder and common bile duct, the fact that he has fever and continues to vomit means that he needs further workup, I suspect that when you go back he will get admitted. Please go back to the ER and explain that he is now worse. take care.
