I am not a medical professional; however, I was coughing up small mucus balls from my throat. I visited the website below, so it may be worthwhile for you view. Note this website also has graphic pictures.

In the southwest United States, osha root is known as “Colorado cough root” and is taken for cough during a respiratory infection. But its effect runs deeper than this moniker. Osha root could relax muscle tissue and prevent any invading bacteria or virus from spreading.It is a traditional cough healer.

I have the same problem. Actually started with a constant bronchitis like cough which is caused by mucous in my throat. Lately that mucous has gotten thicker and I do cough up small mucous balls, jelly like. No one could find the cure. Went through this for 5 years. Finally went to an Oriental Medical doctor, alternative medicine type who gave me some herbs and the mucous has cleared up within one week and no more cough. I stopped taking the herbs after I used it up and strangely the mucous came back. Still unclear as to what it is. I went to a Oriental alternative medicine place in Culver City.
I have the same mucous balls and I don't have my tonsils. I had them removed almost 10 years ago, so I doubt this is what would cause this.
