it can be due to a infection (viral, bacterial) effecting multiple system or can be a new unrelated event .For diarrohoea give lots of fluid , Zinconia drops and paracetamol for cramps . is there any discharge from ear . Ear pain( if no discharge) can be due to congestion for which you can try giving decongestive drops . I would say to wait and observe for antibiotics unless the baby is getting dull, inactive and dehydrated in which scenario you should take supportive treatment immediately
