What Causes Thick Puss Discharge From Back Of Throat?
i keep finding what seems to be hardened puss coming from a hole in the back of my throat by my uvula. I can feel it itching the back of my throat, and i can either push the hardened mass out with my finger or dislodge it by coughing. the mass is an yellow-white hard mass and has a horrific smell. what is going on?

Hi, thanks for the query.
It is post nasal discharge due to Chronic Rhinosinusitis .
Start Saline Nasal spray , Steam Inhalation , Antihistaminic levocetirizine , Antibiotic azithromycin & ornidazole for 10 days.
Investigation : Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy will confirm daignosis
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
