The presence of black streaks in phlegm, especially in the morning, can be a common post-COVID-19 symptom, possibly due to lingering inflammation, mucus, or fungal growth, and since your CBC, chest X-ray, and previous D-Dimer tests are normal, your pulmonologist's advice to monitor and not pursue further testing unless symptoms worsen or new ones develop is reasonable; however, if you experience increased frequency, thickness, or color change of the phlegm, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or fever, seek immediate medical attention to rule out potential complications like pulmonary embolism, bronchiectasis, or opportunistic infections.
