See doctor...: These could be tonsil stones, which are from your tonsils. So, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

A member asked:
I was given a z-pac for cough and felt good abt it until today when I coughed up a small bit of yellowish mucous. Thought I was over COVID19 impact (1st dry cough noticed on 12/12/20), but after today, and with fullness/gas I feel, which causes me to be winded when I run up a flight of stairs (unusual for me), I wonder if I should seek additional medical attention now, or wait a while longer. I'm bloated and gassy. Tested positive for COVID19 on 12/20/20?
