Hello, I started having pain in my throat 4 days ago, but only on the right side, and it hurts my right ear as well when I swallow. Swallowing have been very difficult since. The next day I went to see a doctor and have been told that he doesn t know what it is because its still in a really early state. I have been prescribed 500mg amoxicillin. Started taking the medication and the following day I noticed my uvula has started swelling up with clear liquid. The next day it has gotten a bit worse, I went back to see the doctor, and he changed my medication to predniSONE10mg and Amoxicillin-pot Clavulanate 875-125mg. I ve been on these new meds for the second day and see little to no results. Just now I had a very nasty, like rotten-egg taste in my throat. I tried gargling some water and it didn t get the taste away. Tried other things and accidentally activated my gag reflexes and spit out blood, along with that nasty taste. Now every time I spit there is some blood, should I be worried? I have another appointment scheduled with my doctor in about 10 hours.
