Find a new doctor: This is something that should be evaluated today. You may have strep throat. If your doctor is to busy to see you than ask their office for a referral to someone else. If you have no other option then go the hospital emergency room.

Visit ER : Bleeding in association with tonsil infection is a serious medical condition, potentially dangerous and can be life threatening. In this case do not wait for your doctor, just visit ER. Take care.
