What Could Be The Fleshy Thin Red Lines In The Spit?
I have had a cold/ flu for the past 3 days. Cleared my throat today and felt something come up in my mouth, spit in the sink and it looked pink, fleshy with thin red lines, blood vessel like. After, I felt as if i could swallow better, like something was missing, any idea what this could be? Also had a little thick yellow/ white mucous attached.
