Brief Answer:
Does not seem to be swine flu

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Your baby seems to be having viral gastroenteritis. The symptoms of swine flu are mostly related to respiratory system. For vomiting give him antiemetic like ondansetron syrup. Also keep him hydrated by giving him gatorade or ORS after each vomiting or diarhea episode.

He does not need to be tested for swine flu.

Hope it helps.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
