Green sputum infection is contagious via air droplet spread
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. It is not contagious via the sputum, but it can spread through air droplets, so the conclusive answer would be a yes.
The treatment for a respiratory tract infection with green colour sputum would most probably be the use of antibiotics, and antibiotics are not available over-the-counter, so it would be best to visit a doctor and get a prescription. But if at all you can manage to get your hands on antibiotics, then please let me know and I shall share the name of the antibiotic and the dosage so you can help the patient.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I'm always here to help.
Best wishes.
