My throat is sore and i'm spitting green?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pharynitis: See a doctor and make sure this is not strep throat. The green sputum is simply inflammatory and deteriorating tissue and exudate being removed from an infected area. If this is strep you want to prevent post-streptococcal complications like rheumatic fever.
