this is a serious question. it may be sort of sick, so don't read on if you don't like things related to.. vomit, sort of.
so sometimes i wake up or whatever and feel like there is this thing stuck in my throat. i put my finger down it to see what might be there. sometimes i can take these little cube thingies out. i can sometimes just cough it out too. the cubes are usually umm pinkish, maybe flesh or yellow colored. what are they and why are they there? they are smelly, of course. and my breath is a lot better when they get taken out, i think. thanks people.

I know it sounds gross but the average person swallows like 4 spiders a year while they sleep (I read an article on it a while a go) so it could be just dust and stuff. I would gargle with scope/listerne right before bed and when you get up and see if it helps I would also mention it to your dr. when you see him next I wouldn't go just for this but I would mention it when possible.

It's probably a yeast build-up in the nooks and crannies of your throat. I think it's pretty typical. If too much is built up it can also give you a bit of a sore throat sometimes. Talk to your doctor about it if you're concerned. There's probably something he can do about it. All I would recommend is keeping your mouth clean as best can. Gargle some water if you can feel the lumps back there, and that should help a bit.
