I am 16 years old, I cannot sleep at night even though i am miserably tired. I get woken up with pain. I am going on day 7 so i am hoping to feel better soon. Should i be concerned that i taste blood in my throat and when i spit it out there’s a good amount of it? I’m trying to drink water but with these scabs it is like glass going down my throat. I ran out of the pain medication the doctor prescribed me and I had liquid tylenol and ibuprofen but i switched to pill version of ibuprofen because i do not like the taste of the liquid. Can someone give me some tips about the scabs and the blood. I think i should be rushed to the ER but my mother doesn’t think it’s necessary.
