Im so worried about my boyfriend. He has had tonsillitus and on Fri he was gargling mouthwash then when he spat it out a lump of mucus that was pink in the middle came up. It didnt look like blood, it looked kind of fleshy. He says it was from the back of his throat rather than his lungs and has felt better since, and it hasn't happened again. He doesn't seem that concerned but I am so worried. He thinks its just to do with the throat infection he had, but has anyone had this or heard of it happening of know what this could be?!
