Hi, I am a 44 yr old male 180 cm height and 84 kg weight with previous hay fever in this time of years 9from 35 years ago. today I saw a ellipsoidal mucus like thing resembling an egg or larvae (like a round shaped mucus) after a cough. It didn't move but when I pushed, it was ruptured and a mucus came out from it. Would you pls tell me what is it?

Hello and thank you for your question.
It sounds like you had a tonsil stone. Sometimes people have crypts in their tonsils and food can get packed in there and form a little ball of inflammation. Sometimes when you cough or clear your throat the tonsil stones will come out. They can be different shapes but are usually rounded and white to yellow in color.
Hope this is helpful
