Skin like material in cough

2020-02-21 20:04:07
Hi, I have been having some tonsils issues for a long time. I have been a chain smoker. These days, my cough has been very stick and elastic. However, my main concern is that I coughed skin like material in my cough thrice today. These aren't white chunks like those found in tonsil cavities. These were purely like skin. Is this a cause of concern? Whom should I see for this?
