I don't believe there are alternatives. The person taking the test should make sure they are well hydrated and drink enough water in the days leading up to the test to make sure they can produce a sample.

if nothing helps, they do send you to a pulmonologist and they also require a CT scan, but i am sure sputum culture will come fine, dont worry about it too much!
