In my opinion it would be unlikely that conjunctivitis would cause a temperature.

If there is a severe infection in the eye called orbital cellulits they could get a fever but there would be severe swelling in the skin around the eye

The fever is likely from the viral illness causing the vomiting and loose stools

I would suggest trying Pedilyte or Gatorade

I would take the child to the emergency room if they don't make urine in 12 hours, are not acting correctly, or if you have any concern

You could call the on call doctor to see if they would call you out Zofran, a medicine that can help with vomit ingredients

I would suggest Motrin or Tylenol for the fever
