What Causes Joints Pain, Headache, Tiredness, Lump In Throat That Had Blood?

I have had really achy joints a bad headache and tiredness for 3 days now. I was trying to clear my sinuses in my head by sniffing backwards to bring it down into my throat and a big soft lump came down into my throat which I was able to bring back up into my mouth, and it had blood flecks in it! Should I be worried?

Hello
As you mentioned that there was blood flecks after sniffing ( as sometimes forceful sniffing may break a small arteriols in nose or throat that may produce such type of flecks) , so in my opinion this is not a cause of concern .
As you mentioned that there are joint pain and tiredness so all these symptoms may be due to infection in the throat or due to fever .
So consult an E NT and get his opinion .
In such type of cases usually I prescribe LEVOFLOXACIN 750 mg one tablet per day for 3-5 days with Paracetamol 650 according to pain ( whenever necessary).
Good luck.
