Sore Throat for 2 months, just produced phlegm with small bit of blood in
Posted , 1 user is following.
Since late May I have felt I have been overproducing mucus and I have had a need to swallow a lot more than usual. I then over time developed a slightly irritated throat which will come and go occasionally. In the early period of this I noticed my phlegm was orange in colour and found it odd. The throat feels okay some days and others not, I have only had the need to cough a couple of times, so I wouldn't say it is accompanied by a cough. This morning I had some phlegm to get rid of (to put it crudely) and produced about 3/4 of a teaspoon worth, with a bit of red blood in it.
I have also had a weird vibrating-like feeling on my right upper rib area, vibrates lightly on and off throughout the day, but this sensation does not hurt, it is just note-worthy.
I haven't lost my appetite or weight but I am thinking about it all day in my head and it is causing my summer to not be as I hoped.
I have tried all throat and decongestant medicines and they work in the short term but in the long term not so much.
I have seen a GP who conducted a physical exam and stated that I seemed okay, but to note back if anything worsened, which I will. Any suggestions in the meanwhile will be appreciated.

Defo see the doctor again, they say your fine when really you're not! (happening to me right now)
Get lots of rest and sleep whenever you can. Gargle medium/hot water with salt at least 2 times a day. I've been doing this and my issue seems to be a little better. I don't have what you have but I currently have a problem with my throat/mouth/tonsils/whatever!
Do you have hay fever or any allergies? Or do you feel different within yourself?
