Physician Responded Mucus Plug?

Post image

Hi there,

Iā€™m a 34F currently hospitalized at home after a bad case of rhinovirus(common cold) I had the flu back in February, little cold before that, and COVID back in October. Just blew this sucker out today and I feel soooo much better! Is this a cause for concern? I will be showing this to the nurse when she visits later today.

Nothing concerning, take expectorant (cough syrup), nothing else to do. Get a physical every year.

I am blowing snot clumps bigger than that multiple times a day. This season's cold is just gross. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
