How To Treat The Dry Heaving And The Constipation Caused In A Child?

My 7 year old son was sick about two weeks ago with the stomach bug. It lasted about a week off and on vomiting and diarrhea. Now he is dry heaving and seems to be a little constipated. He is saying his lower abdomen hurts. Is there anything that I can do to help with both?
