    This is a sign of a more serious infection, though it is probably caused by strep. I would request a Z pack ( azithromycin) for such a severe infection. Blood in the lungs indicates pnuemonia, but this could just be from your sinuses draining since you were lying down. Rinsing out you sinuses with sterile saline once an hour will greatly help. You can buy saline at the drugstore. Or boil 8 oz of water with 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of salt let cool to room temp.

    I'm not sure if that's normal, I don't think it is anyway. If you were lying on your back and started having a nose bleed I guess blood could come out your mouth considering they're both connected. I would check it out because my best friend has had it several times and nothing like that never happened. Hope I helped!

    Know the asteroid wellhead tonsil stones them for many years and it's been title not eventually.

    Best decision I've ever made! I was shocked by the way of getting out the stones out. It was so easy, but more importantly, painless. I really liked the little trick he had for preventing gag reflex. He have one happy customer here.
