Every day I cough up what looks like a scab with ugly mucous and blood
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: Dec 4 7:51pm | Replies (391)Comment receiving replies
I’m struggling with this for 10 years, it’s very hard and some times that nasty crusty piece instead of coming in my mouth to spit it out stuck in my throat and I cough and cough to get it out, that hurts and horsens my voice, sometimes I loose voice, I have been about 8-9 ent and every one icc bc them said “I never saw thing like this, 🤷♀️ “, the last ent said he have had a couple patients after I showed him my pic what I hawking up, he decided to do surgery, but not sure if it will help, I’m editing call from surgery nurse about my surgery day (first they have to contact insurance company about the cost), also I have tonsil stones, But my ent didn’t recommend me the surgery right now when I’m suffering from these scabs, because the recovery from tonsil stone surgery for adult can take up to 10 days and bd very painful, can you imagine pain and I have to hawk up the scabs.I have done ct scan for nasals, I will keep updated if surgery helped

@vita61-
I would advise you to do your research on unnecessary surgeries recommended by ENTs.
I’m curious if he is classifying this as “post nasal drip”? Or what he is documenting after your CT scan.
I am also curious if this ENT asked about your history, allergies, diet and overall lifestyle?
Tonsil stones are also from diet and oral hygiene.
All tonsil stones are, are bacteria from food/saliva or reflux that accumulates in the pocket areas of your tonsils. With a really healthy diet, thorough teeth and tongue cleaning and gargling of warm salt water can greatly help.
Be very cautious of an ENT that recommends surgery, especially if he has not provided you with a maximum conservative therapy approach. If this was a first time visit and he is recommending surgery, do more research. This is your upper respiratory system that will be being operated on. Your first line of defense and protection. It’s a very vital part of the body.
