What Causes Sore Throat, Fever And Blood In Mucus?
okay so it started with a sore throat then a bad fever and now coughing and what seems to be blood in my mucus. i also keep getting bad ear aches and stomach pains, but it isnt the flu. i dont know if this adds up to anything but i cut my knee accidently and the blood was very thick and clotty, which isnt normal for me. any ideas what could be going on?

Hello,
The symptoms are commonly related to a cold or flu. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also recommend to use a throat spray for antibacterial properties. I recommend to drink liquids and rest. To evaluate the thick blood, I suggest to do a complete blood count and the platelets level for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
