Vomited twice 3 days ago and had a last diarrhea 2 days ago... since then no bowel movements and has a temperature that comes and goes. I don't take any medication, I give him tylenol and advil for the temperature when needed.

Hello,

The absence of bowel movements in the days following episodes of diarrhea and vomiting may be normal. This is because the digestive tract has somehow emptied during the vomiting/diarrhea. As for the fever, it should be of concern if it is very high (over 38.5°C) and lasts for more than 7 days. In fact, gastroenteritis with symptoms lasting longer than 7 days should be medically evaluated.

Don't hesitate if you have any other concerns.
