Could Bleeding From Throat, Fever And Stuffy Nose Be Swine Flu?
Hi.I am not sure if this is swine flu but had fever, stuffy nose and coughing, then woke up and bleeding from my throat. I then vomitted so went to the Dr who prescribed Amoxicillin and robitussin. He did not tell me what I have or anything else. 10 Hours larer, I now have neck pain and started bleeding from my throat again. What should I do?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Bleeding can occur with severe infections of the throat because the surfaces are inflamed.
You should continue the antibiotics as prescribed, it would take a few days for them to take effect.
In addition using an oral antiseptic/pain spray or gargle may help to relieve your discomfort eg chloroseptic, covonia or diflam
I hope this helps
