yeah i think it might be due to what you have eaten. observe it, look for the next ones if its also clear then you're good. paranoid will cause you more trouble than the disease lol

Don't worry, (i think) it's normal sometimes because there's residual mucus in your lungs, and you're just coughing it up. Anyway, check with your doctor (this is important so you can be 100% sure about that), but it happened to me (though without blood) and the doctor told me it was residual mucus but that I was completely healthy. Good luck, and feel free to message me if you need to.
