Hi, I have nausea the past two days and with the last few hours I’ve got a cough and soar throat and I spat blood not so long ago, I’m terrified of visiting doctors as I’m afraid of needles. So afraid that I’d faint just by looking at one. Could you help me out on what I should do..?

Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. It looks like you have got a complicated sore throat with involvement of lower respiratory tract. Do you have fever? You need to x-ray your chest. You will nedd antibiotics for this. But if it is available on doctor prescription only, then i am afraid you must visot your doctor. No protif you are afraid of injection, juat deny it, and you will be given medication. Do drink water or fluids alot and have some saline gargles as well. Avoid spicy foods. Hope i answered your question. Feel free to ask if you need further assistance. Thanks.
