Hey there, you can help your son by giving him small, frequent meals rather than large ones and drinking plenty of fluids. Eat slowly. Avoid fatty, fried, spicy and very sweet foods. Eat cold or slightly warm food. Get plenty of fresh air. Eat bananas to replace potassium in your blood which can drop if you vomit. Use oral rehydration solution to replace vitamins and minerals lost. Take as much rest as he can. Speak to the doctor if his condition does not improve.
