What Causes Vomiting Green Substance And Blocked Nose In A Premature Infant?
My daughter was 6 weeks premature, and is now 6 weeks old. Today she is very restless, crying constantly. She is still feeding the same amount, but vomits some of it up. I noticed some green in the vomit. Her nose sounds a bit blocked, and i cleared her nose, pulling out green matter. Her tepmerature is normal. She has never been like this before, feeds and sleeps well. We feed her aptimal 120ml every 3-4 hours.
To help clear the blocked nose, you can use nasal saline drops. As for the vomiting, it is very common for newborns to experience episodes of vomiting. It might be due to swallowed phlegm, but it is not recommended to use medications at the age of six weeks. So continue on the nasal saline drops and make sure she drinks adequate amounts of fluids to prevent phlegm from getting thick.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
