My boyfriend and I are away on holidays 1 week after he got a tonsillectomy. Whilst on the flight he started to bleed and brought up about a pint of blood and fainted. He has been very sore feeling like there was something caught in his throat. Two nights later (tonight) he brought up a lump of clotted blood almost scab like, not from his tonsil area but from further down his throat, but again with a lot of blood. Although he did feel some relieve after this and thought that perhaps the reason he was sore and couldn't swallow was because of a scar/cut at the lower back of his throat that kept catching and has now finally come lose. Although once back at the hotel there was further bleeding with many clumps of thick blood. Much of the pain is gone, but there is still blood and feeling like something is stuck in his throat. Is this in any way normal... Why would there be bleeding from so far down the throat? We are not nearby an emergency room so any advice would help. Thanks
