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?
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.
