Every day I cough up what looks like a scab with ugly mucous and blood

Posted by needtoknow @needtoknow, Feb 10, 2016

Every day I cough up what looks like a scab with ugly mucous and tiny amounts of blood. It seems to come from the back of my throat or nose. My doctor has seen the scab but does not see anything wrong. This, to me, seems really odd. Has anyone had this problem?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Nope. Nothing. I have nose surgery after this started but did not help.

I would get the ENT to do a scope and take a look back there for sure.

I am having something similar in my nose. Once in a while I can blow them out. Other times i lightly try to lift it off. If it's too strongly attached, I leave it alone, Eventually it breaks free. This is a recent development.
