Hi dear,
Thanks for your query. It looks like your child is suffering from infection of bowel resulting in vomiting and urge to pass stools. Give paracetamol for fever. Discuss with doctor for giving antiemetics like emeset. Keep hydrating him well with water, juices, butter milk with salt, tender coconut water. If he is able to take fluids and passes urine well, he will be alright in few days. If he keeps vomiting too much and unable to take any thing then he needs to be given intravenous drips.
He might also pass loose stools which will also stop on its own in few days. No need to worry as long as he is taking adequate fluids and passing urine adequately.
Take care

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I feel your child should be examined by a doctor to arrive at a diagnosis.
Is there any blood in the stool?
Does he have any other complaints?
His vomiting should be first controlled by antiemetics prescribed by your doctor.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
