My son was throwing up every 15 minutes for six hours and then he was able to drink half a glass of water but threw it all up again. He is running in the state cross country meet on Saturday. How can I get him more fluids so he's not dehydrated? Should I take him to the doctor? Should I get him an IV?

I have an ongoing fatigue issue that my primary care physician attributes to anxiety, but my psychiatrist and I believe the anxiety isn't sufficient to explain the fatigue. I've had an endocrinological workup, tried testosterone injections, iron supplementation, and vitamin D supplementation, and currently take Synthroid 75mcg daily. My fatigue seems easily stimulated and I'm seeking a comprehensive understanding of potential causes and effective treatments.

He finished antibiotics two weeks ago and has had a complete blood test, urine test, and a Lyme disease test.
