Suggest remedy for runny nose, dry cough and green stools in infant
Patient: My five month old is congested with a runny nose and dry cough. She doesn t have a fever and output is normal but has had 2 green poops. Should I take her to a doctor? Also, she has a red birthmark at the base of her neck which is the same place mine is but it has dry skin that keeps peeling. I ve been putting olive oil on it but it seems to bother her, do you know what this could be? Doctor: Dear Parent,Cough and cold in an infant is always better evaluated by a pediatrician who can examine your baby to rule out lung infection and give medications for the relief of symptoms. Red birthmark at the base of neck can have various diagnoses. I would suggest that you see your pediatrician who can examine the birthmark and give you the diagnosis and more information regarding it.
