Hi my 9 month old baby has been having loose stools for about a week now they vary in colour but are foul smelling and have become very mucusy. Sometimes the nappy is full others only slight amount. He has a runny nose and cough with red cheeks could teething cause this?
Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. Teething per se does not cause diarrhea. But the child puts every thing in his mouth during the teething period. This will cause diarrhea. Runny nose, cough and red cheeks due to viral infection and has nothing to do with teething. Hope this answer serves your purpose Please feel free to ask further queries if any. Chat Doctor. V.
