Hello,
For the past few years I have been feeling my throat is being obstructed by something weekly. So after a few attempts to bring the obstruction up I always get a medium to large sized hard mucus that is always in a odd shape. I don't even know how to particularly explain it, therefore I am attaching photos so you can observe it. I It is almost like the mucus if forming over a bump in my throat which is making the mucus a "cup" shape.
Has anybody seen this before?
Its probably mucus that has been forming in your sinus at the back of your nose and then it gradually drips or slides down your throat. It is obviously forming a plug in your throat in some convenient cranny. Sometimes these will make people cough quite violently. They can form if you are living a in dry warm atmosphere....do you have your central heating on high or work in a dry atmosphere? Try using a daily nasal spray to liquefy the mucus in your sinus. its fairly common.
I get them as well. Although it’s daily for me when I have a sinus infection.
I literally just dislodged one about 10 minutes ago and decided to Google it. Then saw your pics.
Sadly I cannot seem to find anything that has helped. I can feel the build up throughout the day. After violent coughing, sniffing and snorting it’ll dislodge. Such a relief when it does comes out!!!
My only wish (other than it not happening at all) is finding a way to dislodge it when I want it out!
You are not alone… I get this almost on a daily basis. The best way to get them out is to wash you nose everyday. I nearly choked on one the other day.
