Cold/diarrhea: Diarrhea can occur with virus. Diarrhea/ fever causes dehydration (increased heart rate)drink fluids- water alternate with gaterade/apple juice. Avoid dairy. Try white rice, bananas, toast, apple sauce.Consider probiotics ( saccharomyces boulardii). If > 8 watery BM a day, > 2 days,increasing fever ,worse abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea see a doctor/ER/ urgent care. Avoid ASA products
