A member asked:

My throat is sore i been running fever and when i clear my throat i have blood in my spit could this be tonsillitis

Tonsillitis/Pharyngi: Yes Tonsillitis or Pharyngitis is a possibility.Since you have fever,you should consult your doctor to rule out streptococcal infection.Because Step infection needs to be treated with a course of Antibioics.And most Viral sore throats do not need antibiotics
