Hi Dear

Welcome to the platform of Health Care Magic.

Greenish colour of the stool has nothing to do with formula milk.

Possibility of this colour could be because of some infection in the stomach. Which can be confirmed by stool Culture and Sensitivity. And according to the culture report he can be treated.
Many time running nose also may be the cause as some infected secretion from the posterior end of nose is dripped down to stomach and causes stomach infection.

Hope the query is answered.

Thanks
