No urine is not a good thing; from history it seems that the baby is having viral diarrhoea. These are signs of dehydration you must take him er and mostly fluids needed for him. In mean time give he sips of lemon water, juice etc in small quantity like 1 or 2 spoons but do take him to er.

took ur baby to hospital most likely for admission in hospital. ur baby had sign of dehydration. when baby can`t eat anything or regularly vomitting occur, so no medicine had any effect.
