What Causes Pain In Throat And Body And Reddish Spit?
Yesterday night, got slight throat pain and body pain. Now when i woke up today situation has worsened and now getting signs of a heavy tonsilitis. When i spit up sputum, i found it very reddish in color,like it was mixed with blood or so. Is it normal?
in my opinion you should consult a ENT surgeon or a pulmonologist for clinical examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC sputum microscopy and culture
you may require a course of antibiotics preferably penicillin group of drugs under supervision of your doctor
You can do gargling with chlorhexidine mouthwash orwarm saline steam inhalation Hope.this helps you best wishes
