Brief Answer: Start with augmentin and hexidine gargles Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for the query. Painful throat especially on swallowing is a common symptom of throat infection and needs treatment for infection as well as symptomatic treatment. Blood on spitting can also come especially when there is severe infection and from the inflamed lining of the throat, there can be blood while you spit as there can be micro lacerations over the mucosa. Please start with Tab. Augmentin 1gm twice daily for five days along with analgesics, cap. omeprazole 20 twice daily and B Complex. Please use hexidine oral rinses at least six times a days (gargles) initially and then can reduce it to thrice daily. All these drugs should be available in India over the counter. Blood in sputum should stop in few days as and when infection goes. In case the symptoms do not respond or worsen, please consult an ENT. Take hot fluid sips and avoid junk food. Feel free to ask another query. Regards
