Suggest Treatment For High Fever,cough And Diarrhea

My boyfriend has had a fever since Sunday night (highest 102, but at times down to 99.8) - we ve been doing all of the typical things to make him comfortable and hopefully lower the fever, but wondering what other advice you have and how we should decide when it s time to go to the DR. Other symptoms (all occasional throughout the week but inconsistent): coughing, phlegm (greenish yellow), sweating, chills, diarrhea, aching.
