Hi
It seems your child has VIRAL diarrhoea following a respiratory illness. It's common at this age. Green poops are due to reduced transit time of gut in diarrhoea.
I would recommend an ORS properly constituted, probiotic ( Econorm or sporolac) and a zinc supplement for treatment. There is no need for antibiotics..they may sometimes aggravate the problem.
Antibiotics needed only if blood or mucous on stool examination present.
