A member asked:

Bloody mucus dripping in the back of my throat only when laying down, could it be a side effect? i'm taking amoxicillin 875mg twice a day due to strep

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bloody mucous: Most probably due to strep infection in nose causing post nasal drip of bloody mucous. Should clear up when strep is irradiated.
