Hi.
Keep him well hydrated, as it does sound like a migraine headache to me. The diarrhoea can lead to fluid loss which can result in a migraine, and change in pressure. Keep his feet in ice cold water, as this changes the blood circulation and helps to a certain extent to relieve the migraine headache.
Try to get your hands on some sumatriptan tablets which are ideal for migraine management.
Best wishes.
