Can a cold or other resipratory illness cause changes in the color or consistancy of your stool?

If you do not drink enough fluids during your respiratory illness it could result in hard stools/constipation. To stay well hydrated drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
