I've been dealing with tonsillitis for a while and also had a post-nasal drip infection. Now, I've got tonsillitis again and I'm seeing blood in my sputum. Every time I spit out phlegm, there's a little blood. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing the blood?

You might be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection with acute pharyngo-tonsillitis. This type of infection can lead to minimal blood in sputum because of rupture of small blood vessels while coughing. If your symptoms persist then you may need to undergo endoscopy for confirmation of diagnosis

View allI'm really puzzled about this weird feeling I've had in my throat for the past month after recovering from COVID. It's like something's stuck there, but it's not painful or irritating. It doesn't seem to be getting any better or worse, just kind of the same most days. Though I do notice it's more prominent in the evenings or when I'm lying down. It's strange because I don't have any trouble breathing, eating, or drinking, and if anything, swallowing food feels good. I tried antacids and PPIs for about three weeks, but they didn't help at all. I've been extra careful, eating boiled food and avoiding anything spicy because a little spice makes my stomach burn. I'm 21, and I really can't stop thinking about this. Is there something serious going on, or is this just some lingering after-effect I shouldn't worry too much about? What do you think it could be?

I've been dealing with a throat infection for like 45 days now, and I had shivering on that very first day. Ever since then, I've had a 102 fever constantly. I've tried medications like Combiflam and Ronemox 500. The fever's finally calming down, but my throat is still really bothering me, especially when I swallow anything. It's pretty painful. Any idea what's going on or what else I can do?

I'm really concerned because I initially had tonsils and a sore throat, so I took some antibiotics that were prescribed to me before, but now things seemed to get worse. I've developed this itchy and dry throat along with the tonsils, and I'm experiencing a lot of coughing at night when I'm trying to sleep and even some during the day. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?
