The diarrhoea could be due to virus or antibiotic.You could give him a nasal drop like Otrinoz Paediatric twice daily for 4-5 days with an antihistamine drops like coriminic drops orally 8-10 drops twice daily .If the nasal discharge is thick,please try saline nasal drops aplenty,it will loosen it and clear the nose.give him Vizylac syrup twice daily wth antibiotic..may control the diarrhoea.if it worsens please review with your paediatrician.
