Hello
Recent onset vomiting without any fever and altered bowel habit suggests gastritis.
Strep test is indicated in case of fever with pharyngitis or tonsillitis. Strep test is negative indicates he has no streptococcal infection.
As his oral acceptance is good give plenty of fluids to replenish the loss. You can also give antiemetics like ondensetron along with antacid to relieve the symptoms.
Regards
