lately my little brother has been throwing up a lot all this week but we thought it might have been just because he had the flu or maybe he didnt like the food. So we stopped the flu and now he doesn't have it but he's still throwing but today he threw up twice and at a big quantity.

i was wondering what to do because me and my mom are really worried because he's never been sick or thrown up till this week. What should we do any answers or accepted and plz plz answer quickly.

You urgently need to take him to a doctor to find out why the vomiting hasn't stopped yet. Don't delay...he's probably very dehydrated and that can be dangerous. If he has stopped by now, at the very least go to the drugstore and get Pedialyte and give it to him. It's a liquid that will help with the effects of dehydration. Doesn't require a prescription.

Pedialyte is great! Hopefully you have given it to him by now or gotten him into the Dr...since I'm a little late on the reply.
