Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain And Hoarse Voice In A Child
I have a 12 year old son who had a nose bleed a couple of days ago but now he,s spitting up blood with his mucus. He lost his voice or i should say very horse. His throat hurts only a little bit, on a scale from 1 to 10 it,s a 2. He has no headackes and no temperture and feels pretty good otherwise. Do you think he needs antibiotics?

Hello
I don't thin there's an indication for antibiotics at this point but if he has blood in his mucus he may still be having a posterior nosebleed and for that reason he needs to have a doctor check this out.
Laryngitis--the hoarseness--is generally a viral condition and doesn't require antibiotics
