Has anyone noticed excess mucus/phlegm during Pre Opt diet?

Two weeks ago around Thursday, i caught a bug from one of my students. Sore throat, fever, chills, coughing so much i could barely sleep at night. It was awful. I started to feel better and by Tuesday i was Still coughing a bit but nothing like before.

I started my liquid diet the following Saturday (so 1 week after i caught the bug) and i found that while i don't feel sick anymore(no fever, body ache, sore throat, etc), I'm still coughing up A LOT of mucus, especially in the morning. last night i woke up around midnight and had a bad coughing spell that lasted sbout 10 minutes. Each cough brings up mucus. It's disgusting to have productive coughs b/c i keep having to spit.

I don't know if I'm sick or if this is a weird side effect of the diet. I can't call my nutritionist until about 3 today because of how my work schedule is, so i thought i'd ask here. My mom suggested that maybe my body is removing impurities of excess mucus that's in my system sincenwhen i got a colon cleanse a few months ago i was told there's a lot of mucus in my stool (the woman who did it said i should stop drinking milk, but i didnt. Lol)

I dunno what to think.
