What Is The Remedy For The Blood In The Throat?
Ive been ill since Friday, it started with a slight neck ache and its getting worse, ive got some amoxicillin from the doctors because he said i have tonsillitis.
my tonsils are really swollen and its hard to swallow or eat. Ive been trying to drink lots but eating isn't going very well!
anyways, at the back of my throat there is some kind of phlegm, and when i drink it gets worse and i have to spit it out as i dont want to swallow it. But now ive noticed there is blood in this and i don't know what to do!

Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
I have gone through your query regarding white phlegm at the back of your throat and as you tried to spit it out these some blood came out . Though you are having swollen and painful tonsils.
Your clinical history suggests that most likely you are having chronic tonsillitis with acute exacerbation with sepsis.
You are now advice to cosult your ENT doctor for examination and necessary investigations so that confirmed diagnosis may be made and treatment may be planned out.
Till you are waiting for appointment with ENT doctor you may take-
1- Tab Paracetamol.
2- Antibiotic (broad spectrum).
3- Warm saline gargling.
4- Adequate fluid orally.
most likely above will help you.
Regards.
