Hello and welcome to HCM, Symptoms of fever, pain in throat, headache and chills suggest presence of infection. Green colored sputum is seen in infection caused by bacteria called Pseudomonas. You need to consult your doctor. Specific antibiotics are required for treatment of Pseudomonas infection. Pseudomonas infection may not be controlled by routine antibiotics. A drug sensitivity may be required to select the most appropriate antibiotic.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
