Hi,
It seems that he is having acute gastro-enteritis giving vomiting and loose motions.
Now as vomiting is stopped give him plenty of water, Electrolytes and ORS liquid and keep him well hydrated as there might be having risk of dehydration.
If loose motions continue then do not wait and take him to ER for urgent treatment to prevent dehydration.
Ok and take care.
