Call the doc, meantime give him some warm tea and crackers it helps settle the stomach. Believe me i had three kids and it was the best way. Also to prevent dehydration try to get him to drink pedialyte the doctor will problably recommend that anyway good luck

Geeze, it sounds like food poisoning or a quickie virus, although most of the time you'll have a low grade fever. Keep the kids hydrated and at home! Over the counter dramine or benedryl will stop nausea and vomiting if you can get it down him. I'd do juice instead of the soda. But, if it passes quickly, it's just a "kid thing". If it lasts longer than a couple of days, take the kid to the doc. Godloveya.

anything with bubbles isn't real good right now. It will just make him more bloated. Clean liquids , I don't think popsicles are clear when they melt. Also give him a couple of hours after vomiting before giving him anything. Even longer if need be. Eventually you can give him saltines. They are good at settling a stomach.
Check with your pharmacy, they might have a anitemetic over the counter you can give him.
He really just needs to lay still and let his stomach recover. And if he does drink anything.......only small sips.
If he gets dehydrated and can't keep anything down, call your doctor

They probably just have the flu or maybe a mild case of food poisoning. Call your doctor or nurse if you are really concerned. Otherwise just keep an eye on them for signs of dehyrdation(cracked lips). Keep them on a strict diet of clear liquids only and gradually introduce some tummy freindly foods(like salty crackers and clear soups) after about 24 hours. Keep the liquids to them even if it is just small sips of water.

It's probably just a flu bug. Nothing much to do other than let it take its course. Keep your son hydrated, and try giving him something to ease the symptoms. If the condition persists after a couple of days, take him to the doctor.

When it comes to vomiting "non-stop" as you mentioned, it's best to make sure he gets plenty of fluids. If he can't hold these down, then take him to the doctors, or call an advice nurse. Could have been something they ate. Did they have diarrhea as well? Could be a sign of food contamination.

Sounds like a bug going around or just a coincidence. You should take them both to the doctor.

This sounds a little serious. Call his pediatrician and explain the situation. There is also a drug called Emetrol that you can get at the drug store. It helps prevent vomiting.

Sounds like a virus... Keep an eye on your daughter also
If it's from bacteria.. then boil their toothbrushes..change their sheets, throw away old food..(i.e. leftovers)
Talk to your Doctor
