I had a mild case of flu two weeks ago. Now I have ongoing nasal congestion but not coughing. After lying down, when I blow hard, small amount of (dried?) colored phlegm comes out. I already have been diagnosed with severe anxiety. Now it is amped up even farther as should I really be having colored phlegm two weeks out? And I can't tell the color because I am color blind. So that makes me even more in panic mode. Please see the photo of what I blew out this morning. It looks like now there is even a little blood?? Please tell me what color the phlegm is in the photo and what it means. Should I be worried? Thank you.
