Hello dear.
I can understand your concern.
Its a viral infection.It will settle in 2-3 days.
I would advise you to give him plenty of fluids,like fresh fruit juices.
You can try some home remedies like green tea made up of 5-6 leaves of fresh mint in 250 ml of water with a pinch of ajwain(ajowan/carom) ,boil it for 2 mins and give it in intervals throughout the day.
It really helps in clearing the gut out of infections.
It will help in nausea as well.
You can also give rice water for nausea.It really help.
Give him soft diet like rice and lentil cereal with home made yogurt,it acst as probiotic for the gut,and is really helpful.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
