Rotovirus, doc told me to tough it out. Any meds I can take?

I have had diarreah for 5 days, with nausea, coughing, runny nose and ear aches. A usual cold I just tough out wihtout medication since OTC stuff never works on me anyway. This diarreah stuff was just getting to me. I went to the doctor and wasted an hour of my time to be told it will take 7 to 10 days before it gets out of my system and just take Tylenol for the pain. Umm, I have tried Tylenol Flu, Tylenol Cough (liquid), Robutussin Sugar Free, and even SF Halls coughdrops. I even got desperate and took dayquil. The coughing is the worst part of it right now along with the occasional fever making me hot and then cold. I also called the surgeons help number and got the response to take OTC products that do not have asprin or Ibuprophen in it. No help at all. Does anyone know of anything else I can try? I am getting desperate.
