A member asked:
Coughing up mucus with traces of blood. swollen tonsils and throat. is the blood likely just due to coughing breaking the blood vessels in throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Excessive pressure from coughing can break capillaries and cause small amount of blood to appear in the mucus. Take a probiotic (Megafood Megaflora Plus brand), zinc 50 mg/day (NOW is a good brand), Vitamin D3 10,000 IU/day (NOW brand) or sunshine for 30-45 minutes at noon daily to get over the the infection faster. Throat coat liquorice tea (consume several times/day) also helps to reduce pain.
