Hi....by what you quote I feel your kid is going through a viral illness with viral diarrhoea. It is a self limiting condition.

Unless there is blood in the motion or green colored bilious vomiting, or abdominal distension or lethargy or decreased urine output you need not worry. If these appear you need to seek an emergency room.

I suggest you use zinc supplements and ORS. Zinc supplement is prescription drug and I suggest you get back to your pediatrician regarding this.

For fever just give paracetamol in the appropriate dose and duration. If the kid active in-between 2 fever episodes you need not worry.
