Answer 5

It might have been the heat.  Watch him over the next couple of hours and use that mommy gut feeling.  If you are not comfortable with where he is call the Dr.

Until then make sure he is hydrated.  Give him ice cold water to sip on.  Then keep him cool; let him run around in his underware and keep him inside in a cool room.

Answer 6

Where did you swim, public pool, lake? It most likely was the water, possible virus due to someone pooping in the pool? I would give him lots of fluid or pedialyte, you didn't say how old he is. And tylenol for fever and make a doctors visit asap.

Only extreme exposure to heat cause vomiting and fever, and he'd be in a worse condition if it were heat stroke. There are virus's that do not respond to chlorine, one being crypto. So my guess is it's the pool

Answer 7

Look up dry drowning
