Reply to DR.MUKESH TIWARI ,M.S.'s Post: when i first got it, i had swollen "nodules" right under my jaw i guess but not much anymore. also i forgot to mention that in the morning when i wake up i usually go to the bathroom and hack a loogie that has a little bit of blood in it. it only happens once a day in the morning and it's not coughing which seems even more strange to me. I went to the doctor and they thought it might mono, but all my tests came back negetive. my girlfriend also has been having similar problems and she's getting a second test for strep right now, but her first test came back negetive aswell. (she doesn't spit up blood though)

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
Yoiur history & presence of enlarged submental lymph node& flu like symptomp all supporting the diagnosis of sore throat .For this you should very firstly go to your doctor & request him for the throat culture.A significant history of having the same problem with your girl friend also support this.
Do not bother with this early morning blood it may be due to rupture of minor cappilaries in your inflammed throat due to the pressure of hacking.
If your report comes positive your doctor may put you on some antibiotic depending on the sensitivity of the concerned organism,till then you should drink a lot of liquid,suck the soothing lozenges, if you can use a humidifier then it can be beneficial for you.
you can see following site to know more http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/tc/sore-throat-home-treatment
I think it will be helpful to you .
Thanks for using just answer for your queries.
