to be disgusted and yet fascinated by this? [gross]

[YourHandInMyHand]

I've had a bad case of tonsillitis and my meds seem to be slowly working, a cough seems to have just dislodged most of whatever this something yukky is. It's a big lump of white/red and green "stuff". I feel as sick as I am fascinated and rather relieved to know it's no longer in my throat!!

Yuk and awe at same time.

[PedantMarina]

Damn, the OP threw it away before getting a picture. naughty OP!

Can anybody else contribute?

[lomega]

I used to get tonsillitis badly and used to 'enjoy' popping the tonsil stones out with cotton buds...always felt strangely better once they were out :s

pic plz

When I was pregnant, I was really sick, and one day was throwing up so violently that something got lodged in my sinus and it was agony for a few days. Then I was violently sick again and it was forced out of my nose by the pressure of it all! It was rock hard by then and a bit like a green / red / white cannelini bean. It was almost euphoric. I didn't mumsnet back then so I didn't take a picture. Just showed my husband and then stared at it for about half an hour. It was tremendous.

I want one!

I can't eat, breathe properly, or blow my nose; my head is completely bunged up and my neck hurts.

I don't have any tonsils though.

Gaaaah!

pamela I was just about to say that's very similar to something I managed to get out of my nose after a sinus massage once.

Different spot obviously OP but it does sound some sort of lump of evil. I suppose the whole airway system has varying amounts of mucus so it's not beyond the realms of possibility the infection stuff can come up from anywhere.

at Stinkles dog.

Sinus plug would make sense, I tend to blow them out my nose Every time I get one I have to phone my equally disgusting mother and describe it to her

I had something like that when I had tonsillitis last year.

Something white flew out of my mouth when a cough caught me by surprise. The bloody dog ate it before I got a look at it though

[Tobyjugg]

tonsil stone Always wondered if those things had a name. Who says MN isn't educational.

[fuckingpamela]

Sinus plug apparently.

[YourHandInMyHand]

I'm not squishing it, I've binned it - didn't think to incinerate it.

Yes like white brain matter. BOAK!!! I've felt so much better since.

[StrattersThePreciousSnowflake]

Ewww, DD2 coughed up one of those when she had whooping cough; looked exactly like a greenish tinged cooked chicken liver.

I took it to A&E with me when 111 sent us. They binned it, she was furious.

[EduCated]

Is it like a huge bogey, but more solid and a bit paler, with streaks of blood? Looks like part of your brain? I get those. Oh the relief when they're gone!

[BlueBrightBlue]

Squish it, they stink!

[CatsClaus]

like chopped liver with a slimey greenness to it??

I was full of that when i had a dose of the flu and a lovely chest infection...I used to throw it in the fire to kill it, just in case it might grow into something more vile!

[HighwayDragon]

throat poo. I hate it

[Sallystyle]

I removed a massive tonsil stone from my son the other day.

I even have a picture of the tooth like looking stone!

[Ememem84]

Ew. Gross. (But wish you'd posted a picture).

[YourHandInMyHand]

Nope not a tonsil stone, those smell rancid and are a much different shape and consistency. [vomit emotion]

I so need my tonsils out!

[marioluigi]

Whatever it was was causing my post nasal drip - as soon as I'd expelled it I could sniff properly and actually blow my nose.
I kinda wish I'd taken a picture

[PedantMarina]

YABU

To not provide a picture.

[LongDistanceLove]

A tonsil stone maybe?

[YourHandInMyHand]

A bit of lung! Yes it is hard to describe but it is that sort of texture/shape isn't it. Gross.
