Hello, i'm just spit out a mucas type ball in a sense with traces of blood in there. and my throat has been hurting me since tuesday.

See a physician: You may have an infection that needs treatment with an antibiotic. For this you will need an examination by physician. A sore throat with mucus that has blood in it needs to be seen. In the meantime gargle with some warm salt water 1 teaspoon of salt in a large glass of water.
