Post Septoplasty and Sinus Surgery? (photo)

Madmax0f1989
Hi, I had a Septoplasty about a year ago to correct a deviated septum and have been coughing up little brown pieces which I have really no idea what the are. They smell quite pungent and are small and brownish grey in colour. Could this be loose cartilliage? Can someone please help as this is very strange to me. Thanks
