Is the fast of one valid if they involuntarily swallowed phlegm that entered their throat, or blood that flowed from their nose to their throat without being swallowed?

The fast is not broken by swallowing phlegm, nor is it broken by swallowing blood as long as the fasting person did not do so intentionally. Therefore, there is no need to repeat the fast.
