Hi,
Thanks for the query I understand your concern.
He seems to have Gastroenteritis / food poisoning
He should seek Er if he is not digesting any thing. Iv infusion with other treatment would be his need.Along with the medicines advised,
- He should be taking rest.
- Sips of clean fresh cold water mixed with little sugar & pinch of salt
ORT powder would help him.
- Bland & light diet would be digested well.
Thus he would be alright after 3-5 days.
Thanks.
