Hello,

I have a very interesting mucus thing....Sometimes I spit up mucus that is in little balls it's been happening for the past 6 months.....The past few days I've had sinus headaches and my throat has been killing. I spit up mucus this morning that rememinded me of like skin and I think there was a little blood in it....Anyone have any idea's? Right now I'm thinking I'm on death row......Any input would be greatly appreciated....Thanks and have a great day!!!!

Sincerely,
Carred

Mention it to your doctor.

Note colour, consistency, when it happens most often (time of day, season, anything you do that seems to bring it on,) and any other symptoms.

He might want to get a sample (makes you cough it up into a cup) to get a culture from it to see if it's an infection or something. But he'll be able to carry on from there.
