Viral Illness: May be enterovirus or alike. Starts with upper respiratory symptoms with runny nose, cough, sometimes vomiting, and ends with diarrhea. Give pedialyte 4-6 ounces for each diarrhea, continue if you are breast feeding. Food will be mainly: bananna, rice, applesauce, chicken/soup, crackers. For cough can give Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 4 ml twice daily, use steam inhaler or a vaporiser. If cough worse, see his/her doc.

Possible allergy: I would advise that you see Pediatric Urgent Care to determine if your infant has an allergic reaction. Otherwise these symptoms are probably related to an infection. If the cough disrupts sleep or is associated with vomiting, please see your PCP soon.
