DS rapidly losing weight after very bad vomiting bug

Hello. My poor DS (3.5 yo) caught a very nasty super tummy bug at nursery. He was projectile vomiting frequently in short spaces of time and in so much sickness and pain. It was a horrible time as we also caught it. I recovered quickly but my partner is still recovering from it. Though DS having sensory issues, so getting him to eat is hard enough and he is a very fussy eater, hardly ate for a week and as a result has lost over a Kilo in weight. I think he is slowly getting his appetite back today but he has very bad OCD. If he is eating and you stand up at the table to do something he will scream and refuse to eat. We have tried everything to get him to eat his dinner. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Also he goes to two nurseries. We are thinking of only letting him go to one as with two he is likely to catch double the bugs and given his rapid weight loss we can't chance it again. Any advice would be appreciated.
