My baby has caught a cold. She has nasal secretions and since yesterday yellow mucus in her stools, is this due to the secretions?

Yes, it is possible for the yellow mucus in a baby's stool to be related to nasal secretions from a cold. This can happen when the baby's immune system is encountering the virus for the first time. It is not usually a cause for concern. Using a nasal aspirator can help reduce the duration of symptoms.
