What Advice Would You Give For Discharge Of Fleshy Piece When Blowing Nose?

A meat lump went out of my left nostril when I was blowing my nose. Please note that I was for the past 3 days on medication as my Tonsils were swollen and congested and my fever was high the 1st day reaching to 40.5 degrees Please advice. This meat piece does not have a certain form and it did not pain me and i has no bleeding from my nose after.

Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist 's  Response
I think it could be a mucus plug which was blocked in the nose went out on blowing the nose. Its confirmed by your finding that it did not pain or bleed after it went out.
Don't worry. Consult your doctor if it recurs, with collecting that meat lump/mucus plug in a small container.
