Question

I've been gargling with salt water and noticed these tiny bright red blood strips in my saliva. I've had acid reflux symptoms recently, but those seem to have cleared up. I'm not having any trouble swallowing, no fever, and my voice hasn't changed. The blood stains are really just tiny and only show up when I gargle. Should I be worried about this?

Question

I'm really worried about what's going on with me. I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and now both my tonsils are super swollen, red, and have these white spots all over them. Plus, my uvula has these weird red dots. Swallowing is so painful, and my lymph nodes are really tender. What could be causing all this and should I be worried?

Question

I've been having a rough time with a throat infection for the last four days after eating some oily food. I don't have a cold or cough, but my throat is really dry and it hurts every time I swallow. There's also a little bit of body pain going on. I took Erythro 250 and Colgin Plus, but they're not helping. What could be going on, and what should I do to feel better?
