Bronchitis: Sounds like you have bronchitis...the green sputum generally indicates infection with Pneumococcus the. germ that sometimes needs antibiotics HOWEVER since you were hospitalized a CULTURE of your sputum is absolutely necessary since you were exposed to a number of germs NOT necessarily in the "Community" See your doctor! Hope this helps Dr Z
