There is a tummy bug going around. don't know if that helps. Is he barfing yellow stuff yet? That is a sign that the upper intestine is backflowing into the stomach - it can be painful and very bitter. There are such things as anti-emetics that can be prescribed, and even injected.

The heart thingie happens if one is very low on blood sugar, and in a panic. Can he suck on a lozenge without barfing? Also, heads up: half a teaspoon of salt, in a glass of water, and sipped, can be awesome relief - Even a couple of sip, feels like menthol going down and it reduces the cramping and hicupping, greatly.

Also, try and keep up the liquids. This means sipping a little water or mint-tea between barfs, or otherwise, getting hooked up on a drip. No need to eat just yet. Plenty people can fast for many days. But keeping hydrated is important.

But just to emphasize: do not worry about eating just yet. The main thing is to stop the convulsions.

I am praying for him, given that I am currently recovering from a vomiting jag, and my son too. It is very scary. Stay calm.
