General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The most common cause of vomiting and diarrhea is infection, usually viral though bacterial infection can also occur.

During these symptoms, solid food is avoided unless there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms. Using solid food when symptoms are still present would make it worse because the intestines cannot absorb the food.

He needs liquids preferably pedialyte or a similar product that would give him back fluids and electrolytes.
Since he is vomiting he should take small amounts regularly eg every 5 mins, if tolerated the amount can be increased

I hope this helps
