Every so often i cough up somethimg from my lung its a small jelly blob clear.the size of a pea. what r they? it just comes flying out in in 1 cough

Mucous: most likely. BUT worth having evaluation. Smoker? Environmental issues? Animals, asbestos, dust mold etc. If prior pneumonia or lung issues, then bronchiectasis is possible. There are also some lung inflammations that cause more sputum
