Accepted Answer

Common problem: Infants are expected to have 2-3 diarrheal illnesses/yr to the age of 5 when frequency drops. They are  usually triggered by a strains of viruses from which the kid gradually develops immunity. They may or may not have other symptoms. Maintaining hydration is the main treatment as the body self heals. Tasectan is a gel product used to help the gut, not used in the US. Applesauce/bananas can help.

Question 3

how long does diarrhea associated with common cold last?

Accepted Answer

Common cold: Diarrhea seldom occurs with a common cold which is an upper respiratory infection.  Not sure what you have, but if it keeps up see a doctor.

Question 4

6 months old, pukes up a lot after being fed, diarrhea, mucus coughs, stuffy nose, no fever. i took him in but they said its just a common cold?

Accepted Answer

Virus: The mucus produced by his running nose and cough is irritating and will make your child vomit. The vomiting and diarrhea may be due to viral gastroenteritis. Use saline nose drops and a vaporizer for his nose and a bland diet for his gastroenteritis.

Question 5

stuffy nose, sneezing, frequent throat clearing, phleghm, slight pressure around temples, slight stomach pain & nausea that's been going on for a couple of days. no fever, vomitting or diarrhea though. possible common cold? or something else?

:  Your symptoms could be from a number of causes to include a common cold or COVID 19 infection.

Question 6

can people have diarreah with the common cold ?

Accepted Answer

Children do: It is unusual in adults but children may have diarrhea with upper respiratory infections.

Question 7

coughing up green mucus, sneezing, upset stomach,  diarrhea, wheezing do i have an upper respiratory infection?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: You have a respiratory infection, although without further history and physical exam I can't rule out a lower respiratory infection (in your lungs) also.  Do you have a history of asthma?  I always recommend seeing a Dr if you have unexplained wheezing or if the wheezing doses not improve with asthma meds!  Hope you feel better soon!

Question 8

are cold feet a symptom of the common cold?

Accepted Answer

No: Not a symptom of a cold.

Question 9

is it a regular symptom sinus (facial pain) pain in common cold or should i worry for an infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sinus pain is typical, among others for sinusitis, viral or bacterial with referred (from another site, teeth, ears, etc) pain also seen in frequent cases. Colds can involve sinuses at times.

Question 10

how do you know the cause of a sore throat? how can you distinguish if it is a symptom of covid19 or the flu or a common cold?

Accepted Answer

Testing: Sore throat can be a symptom of many things. Covid, flu, colds and strep throat are just a few. See a Dr who can test you for various causes, and until you know what it is isolate yourself from others so that you do not spread any of them. Wear a mask if you need to go out and sanitize your hands frequenlty. Use acetaminophen for pain relief.
