Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, your son is suffering from typical food poisoning also called gastroenteritis.
The first step is to rehydrate the baby with lots of oral rehydration solutions (ORS) usually available over the counter.
The illness is self limiting in most cases over a few days. Rehydration is the key.
Paracetamol for fever is good. But I the fever persists then he will need antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and tinidazole.
In that case, you will have to consult a pediatrician for the prescription.

Take care,
Regards
