Viral illness: If you are having any problems breathing, have fever, have a change in the appearance of your sputum or are having other symptoms it may be necessary to see your doctor and be evaluated. Hard to say whether this is needed now without having further info. Best to err on the side of safety and if you have questions, get examined by a professional.
