Super gross image warning.

I've had an on-and-off fever, spiking at 102°, with a strange sensation in my sinus for days now. I ended up snort-coughing to try and clear anything that might be up there, and this disturbingly solid piece fell out into the back of my throat. It had the texture of rotten flesh.. I've had mucus plugs before but they weren't like this.

Despite how bloody it was, I had no bleeding afterwards, and my fever is actually gone now... There is just this odd, kind of raw/exposed feeling in the back of my sinus now. Could this have been necrotic tissue that sloughed off? I was given some steroids at the doctor just hours before to help with the discomfort, if that can affect anything.
