Suggest Treatment For Stuffy Nose, Chest Congestion And Diarrhea

Hello, my daughter is 10 months old. She has a stuffy nose, chest congestion, diarrhea , and nausea (or it seems so as she is gagging frequently). She has thrown up once. These symptoms have been occurring for approx 4 days. She isn t eating or drinking very much. She also has a fever of about 101. I currently don t have a phone to make an appointment with her pediatrician. Is there anything I can do?
