[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One year after a cold, I could feel something at the back of my throat with my tongue. I looked in the mirror and saw something waaay back (in the soft palate, I think?). I put my finger back there to try and get it and out popped this white hard solid smelly as ass piece of I-don't-know-what. I've talked to a couple other people and they had this happen, too![/quote]

Me, too!!! This happened to me several times right after I got sinus infections.  A few times I coughed them up, then a few other times I, like you, felt them back there and pulled them out.  They smell worse than a roting corpse (which I have also smelled). I finally asked my Dr--- she explained that it is likely gunk/mucus that was built up in the sinus cavitity, hardened, then made it's way into your throat when your sinuses drained.  She suggested I use a saline nasal spray, and do a rinse, like a netti pot.  I also started using a steam-humidifier in my room at ngiht, and that helped enormously.

So nasty, isn't it?!

FWIW, anytime that you feel them in there, clear them out, then wash your hands and brush your teeth.  Don't try to swollow them, or worse "hock" them up.  I had one pop once and they taste worse than they smell.  Vomitted for hours :( Sorry if that was TMI...[/quote]
