Finish Amox: I hope that either a rapid strep test or cultures were positive?? If yes, then you should be feeling better. The color of sputum Is not related to stage of healing, or the type of infection. People have green sputum with both viral and bacterial Upper respiratory infection. complete your antibiotic course. If you do not feel better, please follow up with your provider.
