I threw up a couple of days ago, and since then my throat has been hurting a lot. It's really tough to even drink water or swallow anything. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Based on your symptoms and previous medication, here are some alternative suggestions:

Consult your doctor before taking any new medication.

  1. Antacids: Gelusil or Digene for heartburn and acid reflux
  2. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for acid reduction
  3. Histamine-2 (H2) blockers: Ranitidine or Famotidine for acid reduction

Monitor your blood pressure and adjust medications accordingly.

Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm a bit worried because I've had a bad cold for several days, but now my sore throat has gotten really bothersome. It started out like a regular sore throat, but then two days ago I woke up and spat out mucus that had half mucus and half blood in it, which freaked me out a bit. I remember having a tough crusted pizza before it started, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Now today, I've been spitting up a lot of mucus and noticed tiny amounts of blood too. Should I be concerned about this?
