I have just coughed up this disgusting thing?

[MrsMotherHen]

oh wow it was gross I have got bacterial tonsilitis and havent been able to breath through my nose and felt something at the back of my nose/throat that I couldn't get it up. Well I just sniffed coughed and almost choked on it Its like phlegm but all almost looks tissue like ....but yay I can breath again.
Is tissue/phlegm too far for sporner corner?

We're made of pretty stern stuff.

[DeathByMascara]

Bring it.

[mrsreynolds]

Oooooh
I did similar once...coughed and hacked up a scab/lump the size of a 10p price.
Sigh.
I still look back on that day fondly 😁

[JassyRadlett]

Oh you poor thing. DS2 has bacterial tonsillitis at the moment. It’s so grim.

[MrsMotherHen]

it's magnificent and gross all at once it flew out landing on the pizza box ....luckily DH had ate the pizza.

[mrsreynolds]

That is impressive
Kudos

[QueenofallIsee]

Tonsil stone maybe?

[MongerTruffle]

[mineofuselessinformation]

That looks like it has some tissue in it - maybe a polyp?

[WatermelonGlitter]

Tonsil stones are a funny shape, like little white red blood cells ( or mine was). That's an actual alien right there 😁

[Dottypolka]

I always cough these up when I have tonsilitis. When I've coughed it up I feel a million times better!!!

I call it my brain to my husband and insist on keeping it a tissue to show him much to his disgust 😃

[FunnysInLaJardin]

wow, that looks like an actual tonsil

[MrsMotherHen]

I did feel almost instantly better now I can breathe through my nose again its about the size of a £2 coin its huge!

[FunnysInLaJardin]

DH once coughed up a scab the size of a 20p. He was so proud he took a scale photo

[argumentativefeminist]

Happened to me a fair few times too! It's often just mucus but mucus like this has actual cells in it and can look like tissue? Or something like that, I'm no scientist but that's what Google told me when I looked it up!

[FunnysInLaJardin]

sorry he has just reminded me it was a bit of cartilage after a nose operation!

[LoveProsecco]

Wow, that's gross!

[GertrudeCB]

It looks like a squid 😱

[OddS0ck]

Size of a £2 coin!!!! We need something in the picture for scale.

Is it breathing or moving? Maybe you should keep it in a jar so it can't scuttle off.

Ever watched Alien OP?

[MrsMotherHen]

it really does look like a squid 🦑

[halfwitpicker]

I had this the other week. Fucking disgusting. Felt better afterwards tho

[sleeveface]

That is absolutely amazingly disgusting

[Gammeldragz]

Ooh that's pretty impressive.
I watched quite a bit of ear syringing today (placement in GP practice) and I just love it when loads of gunk comes out. My mentor doesn't see why I get so excited...

[ijustwannadance]

Both fantastic and gross at the same time!

[MrsMotherHen]

my husband was so grossed out he binned it after I spent a good 10mins poking it with a lolly stick.
