Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have green sputum in cough along with cold and body ache . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition like viral infection , as green sputum in cough is also represent viral infection of upper respiratory track . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and blood test . Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial ( amoxicillin ) , anti viral ( acyclovir ) , decongestant and anti histamine . For now do warm saline gargles and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
