All symptoms are due to a viral infection of the intestine (leading to diarrhea) and upper respiratory tract ( causing symptoms of common cold). Use of antihistaminic drug will give relief from running nose and cough. No treatment is required for diarrhea, except for plenty of water and electrolytes.
