Coughed Up A Lump, Smelly. Will It Lead To Infection?

Hello
I have gone through your query regarding a whitish fowl smelling material which you have coughed out.
Your observations are suggesting that you have chronic tonsillitis with white cheesy material comming out of your tonsils , this whitish material is actually organised pus.
Thus all above indicate for infection and you should consult E.N.T. specialist for thorough examination and treatment.
Regards.
