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

I have the same problem sometimes very pasty hard to cough lose I google with warm salt water that seems to help loosen so I can cough it up
I'm not saying it's not a fungal disease causing the problem but the presence of fungus does not mean that the fungus is causing the disease, most fungus is not pathogenic to us and some of it is helpful, so eradicating all fungus is not do-able or wise. Fungal spores are everywhere and we breath in millions a day.
There are also many books that Anthony William has published. I have eyesight issues so I have an Audible subscription. It is not cheap & with Audible I can finally hear books I will never be able to read. I get 1 free book ea. month. This month I got Anthony William, Brain Saver. There are various ways to heal illness via food. Ultimately this is what makes or breaks us in life, food. Nutrients via blood ports to all parts of our body. Our body was created to carry our brain. See if this book helps you. Grateful for this opportunity to share, Marianne

Curious what area do they operate for Nasopharynx surgery and what is it for?
I have read about people getting this after having alterations to their nasal cavity as well.

1 ReactionHad this happen to me for the 1st time today at work. I've really have an issue with the Post Nasal Drip & constantly draining down the back of my throat. I started to research the symptoms when I came across this group. For the people that submitted their dry-like scab tainted with blood, it's almost identical to what I brought up. I managed to catch it when I felt it draining down & managed to get it out before I swallowd it. Thank you everyone for your posts & have a "blessed" day.

2 ReactionsI as well have this same problem. I need to use a neil rinse suck it up into my adnoid area which were removed. Most times I hack afterwards and it loosens and out comes a scab dried up with brownish yellow color. If I can't I have to fo to ENT and he uses a hard scope and suction. Says it is mucus hanging up on scar tissue from removed adnoids. Why only my left side after sinus surgery in 2020
So, I was suffering from thick post nasal drip that sticks in my upper throat ánd these scabs for 15 months now. Visited 3 ENT's because it was driving my crazy. 3rd ENT advised me to do nasal rinsing with xylitol/baking soda/salt mixture for a month, since xylitol is known to break down biofilm. After the second day of rinsing a huge thick mucus glob (yellow/green with blood) was dislodged from deep inside my nose/sinuses. It felt so good afterwards and since then my nose is actually running like crazy and I blow out tons of green snot. No thick, sticky post nasal drip all of a sudden, but everything is coming out at the front like it should. It's crazy to be so happy with having a cold, or at least it feels like that. The rinse made everything move, that's for sure. I'm 2,5 weeks in now and still everyday thick mucus globs come out after the rinse, some of them are shaped just like the scabs. I need to hack it up via my nose into my throat. In case you haven't tried the xylitol rinse, give it a try! Starting to think that these globs of mucus were stuck somewhere and prevented/blocked normal mucus draining. It's too early to get my hopes up that this is the end of the PND horror and the scab, but who knows. Seems like there was an infection high up there all along. See picture for the sachets that I use.
