What Causes Productive Cough And Runny Nose In An Infant?

He is 16 months. I think it is a common cold, but I did find some black mold in the corner of a window in our room. I cleaned it well and aired out the room and washed everything. The fever went away and now he has productive cough and a realllly runny nose. It is very light green/yellow....kind of clearish. He is playing normally, but tired easily. Common cold?

Green/yellow mucus is a sign of infection.In my opinion your child needs a course of antibiotics besides routine cold remedies.
