Question: throat mass

Occasionally, (about every 2-3 weeks) I develop what appears to be a mass of dead cells in the back of my throat. I am able to Cough the mass up, and notice that it has a very bad odor. What is this caused from, and is it anything to be concerned about? Thanks so much.

 You could be experiencing a post-nasal drip which is also a good medium for the growth of anaerobic bacteriae. These bacteriae lead to the production of bad odour. It could also be many other things some more serious than others. I think you should get it checked out just in case. If its nothing serious you would get an Antibiotic prescription.
