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.

Bring it.

mrsreynolds · 18/06/2018 20:24

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 😁

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

Tonsil stone maybe?

MongerTruffle · 18/06/2018 20:31
Shock

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

WatermelonGlitter · 18/06/2018 20:33

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

Dottypolka · 18/06/2018 20:33

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 😃

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

argumentativefeminist · 18/06/2018 20:37

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 · 18/06/2018 20:37

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

LoveProsecco · 18/06/2018 20:38

Wow, that's gross!

GertrudeCB · 18/06/2018 20:38

It looks like a squid 😱

OddS0ck · 18/06/2018 20:40

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?

sleeveface · 18/06/2018 20:43

That is absolutely amazingly disgusting Shock

Gammeldragz · 18/06/2018 20:43

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 · 18/06/2018 20:43

Both fantastic and gross at the same time!

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