Detailed Answer:
Hi
thanks for wrtitng to us.
1. Green colour stools is normal for infants.
Don't worry. There is no need for any medicines for this.
continue breastfeeding . If stools become watery or red then you need to consult your pediatrician.
2. Nose block is pretty commonly seen in babies. Babies breathe only through nose . They learn to breathe from mouth only after 6 months. So any block will cause trouble in breathing. The drops you have been prescribed are very safe and can be given.
Wishing your baby good health.

Regards
Dr Arun
