Supporting therapy: Your symptoms do not sound like a severe infection. Mild sore throat and light chills may suggest a viral process. The blood in your mucous may simply be from the nose being dry. I'd recommend increasing your fluid intake, taking some vitamins, take a little Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen and gargle with warm salt water. You might also want to irrigate or spray saline in the nose to moisten nose.
