Brief Answer:
Looks like a common viral illness - don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello... thank you for consulting in here.

I understand your concern, but you need not be worried about this as this seems like a simple innocuous viral illness.

Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.

For cold you can use Cetrizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.

Regarding green coloured stools - Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

Best regards - Dr Sumanth Amperayani
