Hi Michelle,
I am sorry to hear about your child not feeling well..:0( I would definitely take him to the pediatrician TODAY! If not, then a Stat Care or ER. Here's why....

If he is vomiting everything including the Advil, he can become dehydrated quickly. Also the ibuprofen is needed to bring down the fever. Toddlers can become dehydrated fast and it's better to go the doctor and get him checked out. It sounds like it potential may be a cold and the flu. The coughing may induce the vomiting as well. Better be safe than sorry. Not to mention the fever must come down. Please let me know how he's doing.

Take Care,
Ingrid Lee
