I've been dealing with nasal congestion and noticed something concerning 48 hours ago. I spit out some phlegm, and there was a tiny bit of red or pink in it. What could this mean? I'm a bit worried.
The presence of a small red or pink particle in your phlegm could indicate a minor nasal bleed or inflammation; however, to rule out any underlying conditions, such as nasal polyps, sinusitis, or a foreign object, consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
