First off call a second doctor!! No doctor should let your 4 year old son be uncomfortable for 4 days. If he is vomitting and has diahrea for over 24 hours at that age he needs prompt medical attention.
Having a son myself who had lots of stomach problems, I know that there are many prescriptions available that can ease his discomfort without hurting him, as well as over the counter drugs.
To help him until you can see another doctor, at least get some baby mylicon. its for infants with upset stomachs, completely harmless and will help him at least be able to drink some water.
Please , consider the ER or another doctor. Even if this doc has been good in the past, he isn't doing a good job with the advice to give your son nothing to ease his stomach.

To settle his stomach and keep hydrated, Ginger Ale, take the carbonation out by whisking it in the glass with a fork. The carbonation will irritate the stomach.
The rest....will need to run it's course.
But pepto pismol will help both ends.

My friends mom has always used peppermint water. She fills a small glass with water than puts a peppermint in it for a little while so it dissolves just a bit and than gives it to her granddaughter when she has an upset stomach.

if i had a child i would make him ice water. Then if he or she is still feelin bad i would make them a warm bath if that didnt work i would give them a damp towl to put on their foorhead then i would make them some chicken broth.
well i hope at least one of these things makes your son feel better
good luck!

Chicken broth. It helps when it is warm and it taste good. Some times it is the only thing I can keep down when Im sick.
