Hello,
White phlegm at the back of your throat and as you tried to spit it out these some blood came out. Though you are having swollen and painful tonsils.
Your clinical history suggests that most likely you are having chronic tonsillitis with acute exacerbation with sepsis.
You are now advised to consult your ENT doctor for examination and necessary investigations so that confirmed diagnosis may be made and treatment may be planned out.
Till you are waiting for an appointment with ENT doctor you may take-
1- Tab Paracetamol.
2- Antibiotic (broad spectrum).
3- Warm saline gargling.
4- Adequate fluid orally.
Most likely above will help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
