Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Your child seems to be suffering from a viral gastroenteritis episode which occurs commonly in this age due to the tendency of growing infants to take everything in their mouth. It's due to mouthing and not because of teething.
You can take the following measures to help him:
1. Take care of hygiene in anything that is within his reach.
2. Start him on oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups, buttermilk etc. If the poops are very watery and frequent, then start ORS available OTC as well. This should be along with the regular feeds.
3. Also supplement of zinc such as Syp. ZnD or Zinconia is useful for early recovery and further immunity against similar episodes in future.
4. In case of vomiting, give him Syp. Domperidone or ondansetrone. Acetaminophen can be given for fever spikes.

Hopefully this will help him. For further questions, you may contact me.
Take care
