Sickness

My 4yr old has been sick 5 times in 4hrs. It's all fluid. Is this too many times in a short time and do I need to get him to hospital? I've snuck some dirolite in his water but he hasn't had any yet as he's really sleepy.
I guess it's a bug we have to see out, but how many more times is he sick before I get him seen??
TIA

Honestly? It’s not necessary if he’s keeping down sips and it eases off after 12 hours or so. Especially age 4 rather than a tiny tot. They’re going to be sleepy as it’s night time and theyre unwell. Basin and towels at the ready and water for sips. And hope it isn’t one that spreads through the household and is over for him (and you) soon.
