I've been dealing with tonsillitis for a while nowit's really frustrating. The ENT specialist gave me Oratil 500, Rabemac, and Allegra, which worked at first. But now, the symptoms are back. Should I repeat the same treatment? The doctor also mentioned the possibility of removing my tonsillitis glands. Is that a safe option? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what to do next.

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
