Hard stool and cough

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

My baby 15 days old and is passing hard stool. Earlier he used to poop 3-4 times daily. In last two days he pooped once and he had difficulty in passing the stool. The stool was bit hard(as compared to usual) in starting but became normal later. But he had difficulty in passing the stool. He is coughing also. Although there is no cough, no noisy breathing. But he sneezes 4-5 times twice and coughs 2-3 times in a day. What should I do? I am extremely worried.
