Hey, I've been noticing this weird thing happening lately. Sometimes, these white, grainy bits with a really bad smell come out of my mouth. They've shown up quite a few times now. When I press them, they just fall apart. Any idea what this could be?

View allI'm really worried because for the past three months, I've had this constant excess mucus in my throat.
