Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of prolonged burning in throat and mucus mixed with blood which is due to upper respiratory tract infection leading to granular pharyngitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should go for blood test, sputum and throat swab test to fond out exact diagnosis. You should do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily.Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. You should take steam inhalation. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants. You should take milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime. You should avoid spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
