Diagnose me....?

Or at least some advice on weather I should be freaking over my symptoms untill I see my doctor. thanks! About 2 months ago I ended up with strep, I took the meds and got better quick. Then about two weeks later I began spiting up some strange phelm (not coughing it up cause it would just come right up) it was a gray color with big chunks of blood. I was going to see the doctor but it stoped after a few days. Well now for about 2 weeks I have had a dry cough and I have phelm that is normal color but is kinda gritty. I have such a hard time getting it up and I feel like I am choking on it. And now I am coughing up hard white things. It looks like chalk or pieces of tooth. I googled but could not figure much out excepct that what I am coughing up seems like something calcifed.

Also I should add that I am fairly healthy, 25 years old, and never smoked. However I was exsposed to heavy second hand smoke my whole childhood and untill I became a parent.

I have needed to have my tonsils out for awhile, I get strep a couple times a year. I cough up those hard things, from what I've read and my doctor said some people have pitted tonsils and crap collects in them and that's what you're coughing up. They're called tonsil stones, its like dead skin and mucous that you swallow all the time only it collects in the pitts.

And yes I sometimes also cough up blood tinged mucous.

I do get the tonsil stones too but this is diffrent. These are not mushy and smelly like the tonsil ones. And I can almost feel them come up from my lungs.

See a doctor. Anytime there is blood coming up from somewhere that you cannot really explain, it is a good time to call and make an appointment.

That sounds really disturbing and I hope you get some good answers soon. I really would not count much on a concrete diagnosis from non-medical professionals over the internet.
