As vomiting with diarrhoea is a bad sign that might lead to dehydration in your child and its a very serious condition.
So give him a plenty of liquids rich in electrolytes, ORS oral rehydration solution.
And to stop vomiting give it in little dose 1/2 glass every 20/30 minutes.
And you should consult your family physician to diagnose if bacterial or viral diarrhoea.
