My toddler son has green mucus when he sneezes. Is this normal, or could this mean he has an infection?

Green mucus probably means he has an infection. He should be seen by a doctor.
It is not normal to have green nasal discharge. It is most probably an infection that needs to checked.
It is not normal. Please see the doctor.
It is normal for babies to have intermittent green nasal drainage, but if the drainage is always green, you should see your doctor as it may be a bacterial infection of the nose like strep. Whatever it is, it is not dangerous at all.
If there is no fever, just a cold can have greenish mucus. If it lasts longer than a week or has fever or ear pain, then there may be secondary sinusitis that needs antibiotics.
