asked

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?
