wait a day, it may pass; if he vomits too much more bring him in IMMEDIATELY. try dry crackers to help w/ diarreah. This could just be a 24 or 48 hour bug. Bring him to see pediatrician/doctor by Tuesday or Wednesday, if not better.

he could be dehdyrated which means his body needs fluids and anything with elctrolytes like gatorade, seven up, pedialyte are few good things and juices . for the fever then thats a good sign he he wa feverish then that would mean his body is trying to fight an infection or virus . so you needn't worry about the fever as far as the diarreah is concerned stay away from solid foods for now keep it lite like crackers or animal crackers, or a bagel or toast, and see if it stays down to help stop the vomiting too! he may have picked up a gastointestinal bug like the thing called 'stomach flu" which is not a flu virus at all its a stomach bacteria and usually goes away most of the time on its own!! if symptoms still exist monday call your pedatrician or check out webmd.com in the mean time to help alleviate his symptoms and make sure every one is washing thier hands at all meals and after bathroom visits!!! he may want to just lay around and thats normal too and he may just want his "mommy" most children do when there sick at his age!!! hope he gets better soon!!!

It is only serious if he begins to dehydrate.
Signs of dehydration are: Not urinating for a long period of time, crying with no tears, dry skin, sunken eyes, being lethargic.
I would call his pediatrician just to be on the safe side. But if he is now keeping liquids down and has no more diarrhea, he should be OK.

He may have gastroenteritis. It may be something he ate. The best is to see a pediatrician to determine his hydration status. For now, give him plenty of fluids, even if he vomits it out. Keep him well watered. If he seems unresponsive and severely stuporous(weak) seek help immediately. If he seems very alert, Pedialite or Gatorade are excellent sources of hydration fluids.

Like P.B. said "Dehydration" is the enemy, If they can't hold anything down, give a teaspoon of "Coca Cola" (ROOM TEMP) every hour, then every half hour, then tablespoon every 1/2 hour, see the DR.

only if it is continuous, you should be able to call his doctors office and get the answering service and ask if they have a nurse help line.
