With the nausea and body aches it sounds like the flu, I recently had some respiratory stuff going on and it's lasted a week and I still got a nasty cough and chest and back hurt where my lungs are. The best thing I found that helped especially with the breathing was I'd sit in the bathroom and run the hot water and just breath the steamy air and I'd take lots of baths. I would always get very hot and sweaty but was from the fever. The steam will help his lungs but the rest Tylenol will help with fever and body aches as well as the baths should help body aches, needs to sleep and get plenty of rest and drink fluids and maybe eat things like fruits and some juices to help. Does he have a recliner or some pillows he could prop himself up with? When I drink and get sick I can't lay down because it makes me sick so I know how he feels with that just gotta try and stay upright best he can.

Can you take his temperature? If he has a fever, that would explain the body aches.
Anyway, I'm not sure. It sounds worse than your average stomach bug, and way worse than your average food poisoning. My advice is to just keep an eye on him and tell him to keep trying to stay hydrated. If there's no improvement or gets worse, take him to urgent care, say, around 4-5pm.
He could have stomach flu or food poisoning. Take his temperature and make sure he drinks water or clear liquids. Keep him warm. If he has to take a shit, DO NOT FLUSH IT. Instead, notice if he has diarrhea. (I don't remember having diarrhea when I had stomach flu, but I did when I had food poisoning). If his temperature is about 103 or higher, see a doctor.
