A member asked:

Past 6 mos. sudden choke - cough out what looks like (scab?) - always same shape/size 2cm/thickness 3mm - no congestion - come from sinus? not lungs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus: Is more likely the source, in fact it's the back of the nose. Probably is made of dried secretions.
