Baby vomiting and has diarrhea - what do I do?

I have a 9 month old. he vomited twice, each time vomiting full contents of his stomach. He had diarrhea twice as well. Current diaper is 4 hours dry. We’re not sure if he hasn’t peed longer than that because his last diaper had diarrhea so we’re not sure where the liquid is from. 2 diapers before that had very little pee
No fever

Called his pediatricians emergency number but no answer.

What do I do?

Please don’t freak me out. I’m a FTM with a lot of anxiety

The main thing is that he doesn't dehydrate,
Is he on formula or nursing?
Don't give him any solids or any plain water.
If he is not holding down the formula or milk give him small amounts every minute or 2 in a syringe 2-4 ml/cc.

Don't worry.
Just take a syringe and make sure he is drinking 5cc every 20 minutes or so.
Does he have fever?

As others have said, try get some fluids into him. And continue to reach your dr. No need to freak out, but don't ignore.

Give him very small amounts of liquid, like a teaspoon every 5 minutes. If you nurse, nurse for 5 min, detach, wait 10 minutes, nurse again. It’s grueling but necessary.

There is medicine against vomiting, try giving a suppository and hope it absorbs before his next diarrhea

He’s on formula. Got through to Dr. he said to stop giving him formula and give him pedialyte. Will try that
