Sex is like vigorous physical workout. It causes increased respiratory rate and tendency to breathe through mouth, instead of nose so air going inside is not warm ,and filtered but full of particulate matter . It causes irritation of respiratory passage and secretion of mucus. If there is slight tendency to bleed , the colour may become orange. It could also be due to asthma induced by sex. but I need to know if it is associated with breathing difficulty. You should get you blood tests like BT, CT and platelet count as well as examination of nostrils and throat. for possible growth in throat.
