Hello and welcome to HCM,
A history of sore throat, stuffy nose, cough and low grade fever are suggestive of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
There is probably a bacterial infection which requires an antibiotic for a week.
You need to consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment and prescription of antibiotic depending on the body weight of your child.
In the meanwhile saline gargles and anti-pyretic can be given for the fever (e.g. paracetamol syrup).
Presence of diarrhea is also suggestive of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) infection.
An antibiotic is also required for diarrhea.
Thus, consult your pediatrician at the earliest before the infection gets worse.

Thanks and take care
