Sore Thorat With Redness And Blisters, Stringy Blood While Spitting. Any Ideas?

Bad sore throat. So I gargled with Organic Apple Cider and Sea Salt. The gargling did reduce the pain. I notice the back of the throat is red with what looks like blisters on it. I also noticed what looks like a little bit of stringy blood when I spit out. I have never noticed the blood when I have gargled in the past. This is the first time gargling with Cider.

Hello dear,

Sore throat associated with redness & blisters on the back of throat indicate that you might be having Pharyngitis.

Management includes:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve throat pain.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
5. Avoid taking cold food & drinks, maintain adequate hydration & take soft, non-spicy foods.

If the symptoms persist, kindly consult an ENT specialist & get a complete clinical examination done.
Investigations like Laryngoscopy & upper GI endoscopy will be helpful to rule out any pathological reason for the symptoms.

Take care.
