Now that you have the information in the above answer, Let me give advice. You never, never, let a child vomit for three days. Loss of electrolytes can just be the beginning of what could be a life long problem. You never know if they have contracted a contagious disease that may spread to the whole family. Dehydration is almost assured. When a child is involved, don't do the guessing and waiting game please.
I hope he returns home with a minor diagnosis and feels better soon. Please let us know.
