Sick husband help!!!

So I’ve been married for 2 years. I’m fairly young and I’ve never had to take care of someone who is sick. And I don’t know what to do!

* husband came home from work at 4 said he felt like he had a cold coming on. Which makes sense to me since it just snowed here yesterday and he walked home from work. He works across the street. It’s .2 miles away.

* he put his hoodie on and laid in bed, within an hour he was light napping and breathing heavy. Little weazing.

*he began to shiver even though he had a jacket and 2 comforters on.

* I grabbed a thermometer and measured his temp at 5 and it was 100.58

* ordered dinner and gave him some niqel cold and flu... cause it’s all we had and I honestly thought If I could get him to sleep he could rest it off.

* went to pick up food, no appetite didn’t eat at all.

* took his temp again an hour later it was 100.45

* at 8pm he began to puke. I tried to give him ibprophen to help the fever go down and gave him ritz crackers and an apple sauce pouch cause I read an empty stomach isn’t good with ibprophen.

*its 10:00 now and he’s thrown up 4 times.

* I’ve also given him water, Gatorade, and he requested orange juice but I don’t think he’s touched it.

I feel so bad. I have HG and am sick and I’m currently in our other bathroom trying not to puke from him puking. He’s been so helpful taking care of me and I’ve never seen him this sick. And I feeel like he’s getting sicker faster. Any tips?! Help an inexperienced wife out. 😭

Also he doesn’t drink soda and drank his whole hydroflask today! He had soup and rolls for lunch and was fine.

His mom and sister both had Covid just a couple weeks ago and I was concerned it could be that at first but now it seems more like the flu. He did go to the bathroom once but I’m not sure how that was... I don’t know if he could have food poisoning or what that is... he had a can of progressive chicken soup and I buy tons of cans of it and we’ve never got sick before... 🧐 I just wish I could help him feel better...
