Your symptoms suggest an acute viral infection affecting multiple systems:
• Throat pain on coughing + runny nose (3 days) → most consistent with viral upper respiratory tract infection / viral pharyngitis
• Dysentery/loose stools starting yesterday → likely viral gastroenteritis or gut irritation associated with the same viral illness
This combination is very common, especially with seasonal viruses.
At this stage, it does NOT look dangerous or like a serious bacterial infection unless red-flag symptoms appear.
Next Steps
1. Symptomatic treatment (most important)
• Warm saline gargles 3–4 times/day
• Steam inhalation once or twice daily
• Paracetamol 500 mg every 6–8 hours if pain/fever (max 3 g/day)
2. For runny nose & throat irritation
• Antihistamine (e.g., cetirizine or levocetirizine once daily at night)
• Avoid cold drinks, ice cream, smoking, and polluted air
3. For dysentery / loose stools
• ORS after each loose stool (very important)
• Light diet: rice, banana, curd, toast
• If stools are frequent, watery, or with blood → stool test may be needed
4. When to see a doctor urgently
• Fever >101°F for more than 3 days
• Blood or mucus in stools
• Severe abdominal pain
• Dehydration, weakness, or persistent throat pain >5–7 days
Health Tips
✔ Drink warm fluids only
✔ Rest your voice (avoid excessive talking)
✔ Wash hands frequently (prevents gut infection spread)
✔ Avoid spicy, oily food until stools normalize
✔ Do NOT start antibiotics on your own (often worsens diarrhea)
This picture is most likely viral and self-limiting, and most patients recover within 3–5 days with proper care.
If symptoms persist, worsen, or you want exact medication guidance tailored to your age, weight, and medical history, I strongly recommend booking an online consultation so I can guide you precisely and prevent unnecessary complications.

Common cold or rhinitis .its viral infection, generally its self resolving, avoid antibiotic medication because antibiotics doesn't work on viral infection. Montec LC 10 mg and pcm 500 mg is enough for symptom control. Usually its take 5 to 7 days to resolve. Consult for further management and evaluation.

Most probably,you are currently suffering from viral infection,will settle down in 5-7 days without antibiotics.
Kindly take steam inhalation for the runny nose.If throat pain,headache,fever persists mlre than another 2-3 days,kindly consult a doctor.Cough might take some time to settle.
For diarrhoea,kindly drink ORS atleast 200 ml after every loose stool.If any blood appears,kindly visit local physician.
Next Steps
If fever,throat pain persists,kindly visit a local physician.
For blood in stool,painful passing of stool,visit a local physician or hospital.

These are danger signs.

This looks like a common viral upper-respiratory infection with a short episode of gastroenteritis.
Next Steps
Rest well, take plenty of fluids/ORS, light diet, and you may take paracetamol for throat pain and fever. Avoid antibiotics for now.
Health Tips
Consult if you develop high fever, blood in stools, severe abdominal pain, dehydration, or if symptoms persist beyond 2–3 days.
