For about 6 months now I have begun forming a soft waxy or soft plasticky appearing solid mass of gunk that eventually will drop out of my eustation tube into my mouth/throat (I think, from the physiological drawings I have seen that this is where it is coming from). Prior to it dropping into my mouth I will begin feeling, with my tongue, a rough area on the side of my throat (behind my back teeth). It feels like I am getting a sore throat but am not really ill at all. I can touch the area with my finger and it feels unsmooth. Eventually, after about 5 days this thing will dislodge itself and fall into my mouth. The first couple times it just went down my throat and was a surprise. Since then I have been aware of what is going on and have acutally retrieved the thing to have a look at it. Should I be concerned about this thing? I haven't gone to see the doctor because I don't feel ill and haven't a really good explanation of what this is.

Okay, this is going to sound disgusting, but does it look like a ball of pasta? Does it have a bad odor? I'm not sure how old you are but I too had a period where this was happening to me all the time.
It still occurs every now and then (during allergy season primarily) but not with the frequency it once did. It's been said that it is a build up of plaque (the same that covers your teeth) that accumulates.
Just keep up with the oral hygiene. It will pass.
It's freaky, but it won't hurt you.

that doesn't sound pleasant. You might have a pocket of some sort that gathers gunk and then it just comes out. I would go to an ear, eye, nose and throat doctor if I were you. It could get to where it infects and causes trouble or blockage.
