Should I Be Concerned Of Having Swollen Throat And Blood While Spitting?

I have been diagnosed with mono (done through a blood test). My throat has been very swollen and it hurts to swallow which I am told is very normal. However, I just gargled with salt water and spit up a decent amount of blood afterwards. Is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks!

Hello

Its a viral illness and you should not worry.

Primarily you can take analgesic with anti-inflammatory like enzomac plus.
Avoid exposure to strong wind. Do betadine gargles.

If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.

Take precaution to avoid spread of infection.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
