I’ve had a septoplasty and an infected cyst removed and never had anything like that come out of my schnoz.
I agree with the others… as long as it keeps coming out, you should be fine.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I am sorry Gazelle from Hell but that is the funniest thing I have read in a while. (Note, it is not your medical problem I find funny. It is the way your phrased your response)
On the serious side.
When the doctor scoped you did you ask if there something up in the nasal area that could be snagging-blocking the usual drainage? If that is the case you might want to ask if they can fix it. At the same time it might be easier to live with a little green plug from time to time than go through another operation.

You know, the link at the bottom of each reply, “Report this post to a moderator”, was put there for a reason.
We need to contact Coldfire to make sure he didn’t miss this thread. You know how much he appreciates TMI threads.
This is an excellent thread. I am reading it with great enjoyment!
I hope the nasal pea thingie doesn’t cause you too much discomfort, however. It certainly seems to be entertaining. I almost wish I had one!
I have nothing to add to this highly entertaining and informative thread, save for this:
The term “giant mucocele”, when read quickly while pondering the thread title “Little Green Plug”, can unfortunatly be misinterpreted as “guacamole.” Which I was eating at the time. And may never again:D
Pleh.
Y’know, talking about green nasal plugs is all fine and dandy, but what we really need is pictures…
Or better yet, video!

After perusing the April Fools thread, I’m just wondering if maybe you could use this anomaly against someone…hmmmmm
Oh yeah, and pictures would be great!
istara, you are a truly vile human being, and I wish to bear your children.
Oh, God, Gazelle, that’s brilliant.
I’m so glad you all have enjoyed the saga of the green plug. I don’t know what it is, exactly. It’s like soft, pea-green wax.
No pictures of the green plug. Don’t have any, ain’t gonna take none. Geeeeross!
I do have endoscopic photos from the surgery. I’ll see what I can do about gettin’ them out on the 'net somewheres.

No need to apologize, my friend. The intent was to entertain.
Yes, it relieved my sinus trouble; however, the second surgery was of the emergency variety. The mucocele that was located primarily in my maxillary sinus extended to a sinus above/behind my eye. It pressed on the bone and on my optic nerve, causing some bone loss and gray spot in my vision. The gray spot is what alerted me to the problem. I saw an opthalmologist and a neurologist before being referred to the ENT. The gray spot is gone. The surgery, allergy medication, allergy shots and smoking cessation have all significantly decreased my sinus issues.
I sometimes have that “air shooting” thing, too. Weird!
Oh, GfH, you completely made my day. I’ve never, ever told anyone about the “air shooting” weirdness. Here I’ve found a fellow sufferer! … The allergy-shots routine, after three years, is distinctly unfun. Makes me cranky.
The ability to fire such a large caliber snot rocket would make you the envy of many 7th grade boys.
Maybe if you left it there long enough, it could calcify and become a nasal bezoar. You might even get to have a certain class of pathology named after you.
A gazelluloma.
On another subject: Rysdad, you comin’ to lunch tomorrow? It would be about damn time we met. 
Gazelluloma. I like it.
One of the twins had Pyloric Stenosis. (google it) they go in through two incisions in his abdomen and thru his belly button. Your yellow waxy substance sounds EXACTLY like the yellow waxy substance that came outta his navel for about three weeks. Wonder if it’s (wait for it) Lymph or white blood cells or something related to a dark damp site healing.
Hey! We oughta ask Cecil!

Ahhhhhh. Now that’s good TMI. It makes me glad I forgot my pesto sandwich at home.
PESTO!
Judith Prietht, you nailed it. The plug is exactly the same color as pesto.
Hope this isnt too big a hijack, but since we are talking about sinus region infections/ blockages…
I have a patient who if you press slightly on the inside corners of her eyes thin ribbons of green very dry putty like material comes out in the manner of squeeze-cheese. Its a chronic infection, in her lacrimal canals and naso lacrimal canals. (In laymans terms the ducts that drain tears into her nose is full of funky green crap) Doctors have given up trying to treat it as it doesnt seem to bother her, and she is in very advanced Alzheimers. Doc has so kindly told me that if it enlarges I should express it from time to time.
Interesting, looking in her chart I seem to be the only one who expresses the apple green putty from her.
Or at least the only one who admits it!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
juji_mojo you win! I give up! That is officially the grossest thing I’ve ever heard of! You are the king!
