I ve had a sore throat the past two days. My head hurts and i have mild body chills. I went a week without taking allergy medicine, but im back on it. I was in the shower and started hacking up mucus. Just when i thought i was done, I softly coughed and a massive something popped out out. It looks like a fatty piece of raw meat, and has the same consistency. When i pull on it, it doesnt rip. Half an inch long.
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor The discharge seen on coughing would be mucus that was present in the respiratory system as a result of your infection. Because it is mucoid, it would not rip or tear, just as your described. Fever does not usually occur in allergies, so the presence of fever indicates that you have an infection. Likely an upper respiratory tract viral infection. Since the cough is productive, in addition to your normally cough and cold meds, you may also want to use a bucolic. This is a medication to help break up mucus so that it can be expelled easier. They would be available over the counter. I hope this helps
