Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain cough, fever and loss of appetite can be very much due to upper respiratory tract infection and it is common in kids so need not to worry about it..

Diarrhea on the other hand can be due to side effects of medications like antibiotics that must be given to her by the Physician..

Nothing to worry as he will be alright soon, as it is a viral infection and will run its course..

You can give him tylenol to relieve fever, give plenty of warm fluids and semisolid diet and sufficient rest..

Hope this helps.

Regards..
