Answers:
Has he been having vomiting or diarrhea!? Any fever!? I would say he needs to drink lots of fluids and eat just some bland foods like soda crackers!. If he is having some flu-like symptoms, Tylenol might help him to feel better, but rest and fluids are what he needs!. If he gets worse (vomiting, diarrhea, fever), he should see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
He might have swallowed a lot of nasty bacteria in which case, one antibiotic pill would help!.!.!.but it would require seeing a doctor!.
The other possibility is that he swallowed some chemical!.!.!.he could hope it just passes through his system quickly!.!.!. or maybe vomiting would help!.
Also ocean water has a lot of salt, so he definitely could use some water to help pee out some of the salt!.
Ask him if he's starting to hear some rumbling or feel cramping in his intestines!.!.!.in which case, seeing the doctor might be best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well if he swallowed alot of water he may have gotten dehydrated, it is Salt water after all!. On second thought there could have been a bacteria in the water, in that case will eventually leave his system!. If his Symptoms get worse i would go to a doctor, i would suggest to have him POUND LIQUIDS, like gatorade and other things like that that have electrolytes, even if he isnt dehydrated, this can help flush his systemWww@Answer-Health@Com
he will have to digest it and just get it out of his stomach!. this sounds bad but if he could stick his finger down his throat he could force himself to puke it out!. like said, i know that sounds bad but it is obviously upsetting his stomach!. after a good nights rest it should all be moved out of there, he probably swallowed air with it too and bloated his stomach!. if he could drink some soda and do a big burp i bet it would help too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's probably the initial shock and unpleasant taste!.!.!. Heck, getting a bug in my mouth can make me sick for hours!.!.!.!. He should rinse and spit out often and strive to drink liquids he enjoys (best if they're clear ones) and simple foods like bread or plain pasta or other carbs!. By morning he should feel better even if he still cringes at the taste he recalls so vividly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I go surfing a lot, and swallow ocean water a lot and i never feel sick!. Unless there was a bacteria of bug in the water, the chances of the sickness coming from the ocean is very low!.
If he's that sick, you might want to think about getting a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
