My daughter had the same thing this time last year, right over Christmas for about a week, I've never seen her so ill. The doctor thought it might be mild swine flu, but they don't swab for it, so no way of telling for sure. She didn't want any food for ages, and the doctors just said to make sure she was getting plenty of fluids. She then got conjunctivitis to top it all off!! Mashed potato is nice and good for an upset tummy and so long as he's interested in food I wouldn't worry too much about what to give him, it's a good sign he has an appetite.
If he's not improved by the weekend, take him back, there is always the walk-in NHS clinics if the GP won't see him for a while, as is often the case with my GP!!
Hope he's better soon!
