Answers:
You need to keep a damp cool rag on his forehead. It's ok if his body is feverish because it's the body's natural way of fighting off a virus or infection.. Off course give him acetaminophen and Ibuprofen. Mainly keep the temperature in his head stable.
For the vomitting gatorade or a mineral type drink is good to keep him hydrated and essential minerals in his system.Health Question & Answer

get him a bucket, instead of having to run to the toilet everytime he needs to throw up. When i was little my mum used to make me drink lemonade because when your vomiting its better for you then water.also a sandwich or a bit of toast or a plain biscuit, if he can have a little nibble on that it will make him feel better having something in his tummy. I dont no what medications he could take but if u ask chemist or something they could probley tell you better than anyone on yahoo.Health Question & Answer

lots of water yes, but small sips, every few min or so. He will dehydrate due to throwing up. Body temp needs to stay below 37.5,and if he continues this way for another hour or so I would take him to the dr. It could be food poisoning and this can be very serious.Health Question & Answer

Don't have him drink water...the acids in his stomach will make him throw it back up every time. Have him drink sprite or another lemon-lime soda and eat bread as often as he can. As long as his temperature doesn't get above 102, he'll be fine.Health Question & Answer

get him to sip the water slowly then there is less chance of him bringing it back upHealth Question & Answer
