Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore and painful throat and coughing blood which seems to be due to chest infection/chronic upper respiratory tract infection and inability to eat is due to formation of lump like feel is due to swollen lymph node/tonsils. Need not to worry. Take proper course of antibiotics. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply mist humidifiers in room. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Maintain oral hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Harry Maheshwari
