Swallowing Phlegm for the Fasting Person

Question
A person expelled phlegm from their mouth and then swallowed it, does it break their fast if they were fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It does not break the fast as long as the phlegm is in the mouth; because it is not something that breaks the fast, and God knows best.
