Suggest Medication For Cold And Congestion

my son is 4 months old, and has a bad cold and very congested. He is drinking fluids but only half of what he normally intakes. He is still very active and smiles a lot. My question is, his diapers are not that wet. It seems he has very little urine coming out and his belly seems bloated. Is this normal when a baby is sick?

Hi..if he is smiling and normally feeding do not worry. If the stomach bloating is because of a serious illness, there would be green or bilious vomiting and constipation or diarrhea. As none of these are there and he is feeding well and active, you need not worry.
