Brief Answer:
NO

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for his query.

Viruses do not cause green mucus. Green mucus is often caused by bacterial infections. I will need to obtain more information about the disease condition you are referring to in order to provide specific information. Is it mucus from the nostrils? Phlegm? etc. Is he running a fever?

Hope to hear from you as soon as possible for more personalized and helpful information. I wish you well.
