Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
His vomiting should be controlled initially by antiemetic prescribed by your doctor after proper examination.
Monitor him for signs of dehydration.
If dehydration is present then ORS or any fluid that contains salt and sugar should be given.
Further worsening of dehydration may require intravenous fluids.
Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
