Let's share tips to make the "experience" as pleasant as possible.
My suggestions -
Take the large (vs umbrella) stroller. If you are lucky enough to exhaust your LO for a nap, lay them down for some uninterrupted shopping time.
Make a plan, make a list and organize coupons. discount cards and gift cards. I use a
Bring snacks and treats (maybe a new toy or book).
Plan in some play time, set up a good expectation or outcome - "As soon as I finish this, or after lunch we will get an ice cream or play at the playground.
If a meltdown happens - ignore the looks! Everyone knows it has happened to them!

I'm sorry your little guy is not feeling well. Unfortunately, without being able to exam him this is difficult to answer online.
Please contact his doctor and let them take a look to make sure no other problems are brewing.
Check back in to let us know how he is doing and what you found out,
