A member asked:
Why am i coughing out a pink/pale fleshly object every 3-4 days? they're soft, around 0.5 to 1 cm long, somewhat shaped like a cell, and shrink, harden, and turn yellow after an hour or two after they're coughed out. they don't really smell?

These symptoms merit an urgent visit to one's doctor, and perhaps a referral to a pulmonary specialist. It's important to determine if the problem is in the region of the vocal cords or the lungs; this will determine whether further tests might include chest X-rays or a CT lung scan, sinus scan or other diagnostic test. If smoking, stop!
