You should have Coke-Cola around the house, flatten it by adding sugar to it, it will take the fizz out. Then just a few sips until you can get out to the store or have someone get you Pedialyte pops to suck on. Just keep him hydrated monitor his urine output. If he appears dehydrated contact your PCP and go to the ER for rehydration and stabilization.
