Hello,
Yes, your doctor is right Combiflame might cause diarrhea, by stopping the medicine the diarrhea should get better.
Crocin is again has a very good antipyretic effect but you need to know the simple home remedies to lower down the fever as in children of very younger age fever might cause them fits.
You can keep your baby under a fan with his clothes off and do tepid sponging with tap water of room temperature.
You can also keep spirited cotton under his armpit as it also lowers lown temperature. I suggest you to visit a hospital as well as this much loose motions can also cause dehydration in younger children.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
