Hi.. Thanks for the query.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complain and presentation of symptoms you are suffering from throat infection causing Tonsillitis and it seems to be viral infection with secondary bacterial infection.. The pink red colour in mucous is due to blood that comes from the back of throat or tonsils as they are inflamed and any inflamed structure bleeds very easily.. Nothing to worry, take a 7 days course of antibiotics like Augmentin or Azithromycin. Take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Sipping luke warm water throughout the day can help in faster relief. Steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room can help. Avoid hard and spicy foods and take a soft bland diet. Avoid chilled foods and drinks. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
