What Could Cause Viral Throat Infection With Green Colour Inside Throat In A Child?

I took my 2 year old son to the walk in centre yesterday & he has a viral throat infection, today I've tried looking in his mouth to his resistance and from what I saw they looked green, I only got a glimpse so was hard to see for spots. Should I take him back to walk in centre?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Viral throat infections are very common in this age group. Typically they last 7-10 days. If the symptoms worsen, or persist beyond 7-10 days, I recommend getting re-examined. Otherwise, there is no need to be overly concerned.
