What Is The Treatment For Diarrhea,fever And Cough?
Hi, my 2 year old has had no appetite for 4 days, and is very lethargic. he has had diarrhea twice, and last night had a low grade fever of 99.5 and a nasty sounding croupy cough. 2 weeks ago he had a little head cold, but was over those symptoms in 4-5 days.

Hi...whatever you quote is sounding like a viral illness going on. Unless he's breathless nothing to worry about cold and cough. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry regarding diarrhea.
I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS... For diarrhea. For stuffy nose saline nasal drops would suffice.
