Hello. I'm never had problems of this kind before and that’s why all this is making me very confused.
You see, just recently I spitted small amount of blood and I though it was something from my nose.
But I was wrong- after close inspection I determined that the bleeding was from my tonsils.
Although I had a bit sore tonsils these last couple of days, I have never heard that that could bleed. Could someone please tell me what the hell is going on with me. Could this be a sign of something serious or this could happen normally?
Please help!
Hi. I have just read your post and did a small research after it.
I have read that there are many possible causes of tonsils bleeding and I will name you some.
You see, most commonly it could occur after small injury or cut. It could happen if some small bone or part of potato chips stuck into tonsil. It could also be part of one so called- bleeding tonsils syndrome when this becomes chronic. It is supposedly because the walls of small arteries on the tonsils are too thin.
What ever is the cause- I recommend you to contact your general practitioner soon for detailed evaluation of this problem because there are several possible complications if left untreated.
