  I would not recommend residing the medication since it is impossible to know how much he may have absorbed. You may want to ask your vet if injectable medications might be an option, or if there are other anti-nausea medications to try. I’m hoping Charlie makes a full recovery!

  Assuming it's Parvo, the most important part of treatment is fluids. However, I would not recommend giving this, or other treatment without the advice of a professional. Unfortunately, we cannot (legally and ethically) advise medication without having an established patient-doctor relationship. It is also dangerous for us to advise medication without examining your dog and fully understanding his condition and medical history.
  
  While you may highly suspect Parvo, there are other conditions that appear similar and the treatment could be completely different than what you suspect. Also, no medication is completely safe and it's possible that he could have an adverse reaction to the proposed medications, which could make things much worse than they were before. For these reasons, it's always best to only give medication as directed by your veterinarian.
  
  It's encouraging that he is drinking and stopped throwing up. If this is Parvo, then this would be a good indication that he is on the mend and should start eating soon. You may try offering different food that is especially tasty.
  
  I hope that helps and he gets better soon.
