Does it need water, have you over watered, is it dehydrating in too hot sun etc, is it outdoors or inside, there is so many things that would cause tomato's to wilt, but these are the most common ones, while fruiting, they really do need a good bit of water and feeding as they are useing a lot of energy to do so, Good luck, hope this helps you.

It is outside and full of tomatoes-----very small ones. The lower leaves died and I picked them off. I might have watered to much but there are holes in the container and water runs out. What can I do for the plant????????/gn

Probably nothing, There are several types of wilt here in the south but none of them are curable once they hit. Wilt resistant cultivars are good for Spotted wilt and Fusarium, but others have to run thier course.

Tomato plant is putting on new leaves and looking good again. I have petted the plant and was proud to see new leaves. Maybe it will make some more of those tomatoes that my husband loves. Thanks for all the help here...

The Tom plant is growing and beginning to look great. It has a few toms on it now. Maybe it is going to be alright...
