It is a buildup of mucus and inflammation that comes along with sore throat, mild chest pain and can get a little uncomfortable but can easily be treated.  The mucus from Phlegm differs in color but most times it is usually not what you should worry about except for when it happens too often and it gives you severe pain and bloodlike mucus, then you should see a doctor.
