Question : what is it when I woke up with tiny bits of green stuff all in my mouth and lips

Answered by Dr. Dr.Albana Sejdini Greca (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Vomiting in the sleep or acid reflux

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear

I have gone through your medical history carefully and the photo you provided.

If you woke with green stuff in your mouth and lip, then there are 2 main explanations:
1. vomiting in the sleep especially if you are also having coughing
2. acid reflux provoking coughing and then vomiting

I advise to consult further with gastroenterologist.

Let me know if you have any other question.
