Pediatrician,  's  Response
Diarrhoea in children is frequently caused by rotavirus although it could also occur due to certain bacteria. Unless associated with bloody stools, the cause does not require to be treated. All you have to do is to give ORS or continue breast feeding in order to replenish the salt and water lost. Let me mention that for an exclusively breastfed baby, simply continue the breast feeding and nothing more. If the frequency of urine is ok, you will know that things are fine. Let me mention that in case of a child of this age, passing stool 10 times a day is as normal as passing stool once in 10 days and in either case you need not worry.

For your throat infection, take steam inhalation along with azithral and some antiallergic like levocetirizine.
