hello,
1) your husband might have food related gastroenteritis
2) he should undergo basic tests i.e. CBC, stool examination.
3) to maintain adequate hydration, he must drink ORS powder mixed water throughout day. In case he is not able to drink then he require hospitalization for IV fluid support.
4) also he need specific antibiotics to control infection. if frequency of diarrhea is more then he also require medication to control stool frequency.
5) multiple episodes of vomiting, diarrhea more than 6 times, not able to drink/eat warrants consultation at ER for prompt treatment
