Suggest Treatment For Loose Motions And Fever In A Child

My 2.5 years old child (10kg) is suffering from loose motions (4 times a day) and gets fever upto 104 deg since past 4 days. Otherwise he is fairly active (when not having fever) and his appetite has dropped but not significantly. We have been giving him meftal-p for fever and flora BC for motions. Please advise what further course to take as frequency of his motions has not decreased at all. we have been advised to give DIOF twice a day to him.
