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?

Omfg was not expecting half of your throat to come out 🤢🤢

That is fantastic! You're my kind of person OP

Oooh, that's gross! I'm impressed! Did it hurt?

It didn't hurt but I did almost die choking on it as it flew up. Cant belive that was blocking half my airways I could only breathe through my mouth since Saturday! My DS3 was horrified at it 😀

That's truly gross 🦑. Well
Done!

I suffer with my tonsils too and hack these up. I find them hugely fascinating, the texture and shape of them. Octopus or brain tissue or somewhere in between!

Im still coughing up lumps like that nearly a year after surgery for an addenoidal tumour, turbinate trimming, sinus drainage drilling and swilling and cartillage shaving. looks mucous-y but feels like part of you- but wow, your's is huge! Bet that feels loads better!

Baby octopus was my first thought!

MrsMotherHen I would freak out if that came up! But at least you're feeling better 😁

That is truly impressive OP. I'm glad you got to poke it with a stick for a while.

Welcome to the Sporner fold, OP

That's a lung right there!

You have graduated from the Academy of Sporn - with honours.

I get these after tonsillitis or sinusitis. The relief when it finally shifts is amazing and I always feel loads better. Think it was a sinus plug or similar

Wow.

You need a name change... MrsMotherOfSquid or something....

Could be a fungus ball!

Oh yes. AN ACTUAL FUNGUS BALL!

I like that name I might have a change later ....I coughed another one up last night it wasnt nearly as impressive so didnt take a pic but did get some relief after it.

This happens to me! Not very often.

I have a theory. I think it's a kind of internal scab. Some times I kind of sniff hard as one will pop back into my throat. A couple of times I could make out feint blood vessels.

Either that or part of your adenoids.

Wow, OP, where's the rest of your lungs?

Wow 😍

Sort of chunky and chewy 🤧

My 11 year old has Tonsillitis/ Strep Throat & while expelling phlegm, he coughed up something unlike I’ve ever seen ( until reading this thread) . I’ve had Tonsillitis when I was a kid and never do I remember coughing anything remotely like what I seen. I showed the doctor, who seemed unconcerned. It was only when I found your post ( and the picture ) and compared, that I noticed it had similar characteristics as yours. Does this happen often when you get tonsillitis? @MrsMotherHen

Oh, zombie thread, but wow! Still impressive even after all this time!

The satisfaction of these threads is the immense relief of the spontaneous expulsion of said materials. Like the last full nose blow of a cold where your ears clear and the relief from the pressure. Pure bliss.
