It depends on how sick you hamster is. The first thing to do would be to get him to a vet ASAP.

However there are things you can do at home. Make sure he is clean, warm and left alone. Stress can make everything worse. Check on him occasionally to see how he is doing. Make sure he has clean water, close to his bed so he doesn't have to move. If he is ill, avoid giving fresh fruit or veg as this can upset his tummy and give him diarrhoea. But seek expert advice.

There are a couple of ways.
