They are called crypts, or more commonly throat stones. They look like cottage cheese chunks that you cough up every now and then, but when it does come up, it has a very very bad odor. It normally grows/lodges itself in the folds of your tonsils. I still don't know the true origin of these crypts, but I know of a few people who have them. I myself suffer from this from time to time, and the only thing I know to combat this is to keep your throat moist. According to my research online, drinking your fluids throughout the day, washing down your meal with a favorite drink, or just keeping your throat hydrated should do the trick. There is more information at the site below. You can also do a search for "crypts" or "throat stones"

You have a bad problem that has to be corrected. Yes you can get very sick when the mold ends up in your lungs. If you rent go right to the landloard and put in a written complaint and call the health department. If it is your own home you need to get a contractor to replace some walls before it gets out of control. \n\nPlease add your age to the end of questions so we know better how to answer your question..

It's just cervical fluid.  It's totally natural.  It will also vary in consistancy depending on where you are in your monthly cycle.  Now, if your discharge is yellowish and smells really bad, it may be sign of an infection & you should consult your doctor.

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

Haha, whatever you said, I'm assuming you cough up a little bit of blood sometimes? It means something is wrong in your lungs...go to the doctor.

That's totally normal--I get that all the time. If it smells funny or is yellow (or both!), that's when you have a problem.

I believe you are asking for a diagnosis out of the norm for a cough.  Look at the following links.  Maybe it is caused by a parasite or a fungus.

yes, I had this about 14 years ago...It was terrible!  like this really big cold and extreme cough.  You are so congested in your chest and lungs and you have no control over your coughs.  I would sit up in bed coughing like crazy and phlegm you just come out (sorry, not to be gross but that is happens).  Thank God I was old enough because if you catch this as a baby you have to check on them so they can breathe and not choke.  I cant remember exactly what I took as medecine but something was given to me to help.

Uh-oh.  Sounds like a nasty respiratory infection, possibly pneumonia.  Get to a doctor immediately.

if its just a "little cough" then no. if its like a "barking cough" then yes. if it happened when you are around the same thing or exersizing then yes. \ndo some research, find out what you think it is.\ntry going to Webmd.com and type in your symptoms, it will tell you possiblitys, check them out.\n if you really think its that bad then go see a docter.

it could be a number of things. i would go to the Dr. and have him check you out. do you smoke? if so and sometimes even if you don't it could be bronchitis. i know when i have bronchitis my cough really smells bad cause of the infection in my lungs, so i would go to the Dr. and let him check you out. or go to http://www.webmd.com/ you might get answers there.

I used to think green or yellow meant infection but the doctor told me not necessarily. The more moisture it looses the darker it will become, that is why boogers are yellow and green. Fowl odor, headache etc usually mean there is an infection.
