It all started Tuesday evening at work with a sore throat. Wednesday i woke up and my throat was very sore. It hurt to swallow. I called off work and jumped into the shower getting it real hot for steam. I coughed out some red crap and my throat felt alitte better. But i started having chills, small fever, ear pain and body aches that night. So I thought it was just a common cold.
Thrusday i went to work but just a small body ache but the sore throat was still there at full force. Friday was the same way. But today i feel so much better. The only thing wrong is a slight sore throat.
But the thing is, last night I noticed two small white spots on tonsils. I know that means strep throat but i just had it in December and remember the pain i was in. I slept all day but im not going through that this time

What was the "red crap"? Blood? Have you seen a doctor about it?

Sounds like a throat infection to me. Doesn't always need to be treated, but if the complications are serious enough you might want to get it treated.
However, the part with red crap worries me, that's definitely not part of a common cold.

Its now definitely in my chest. Will be taking mucinex today to clear this up. The blood was probably just from a sinus infection.
I dont have insurance anymore since last month and dont wanna play 50+ just for them to say you got a chest cold

If it transformed into pneumonia it's not something to take lightly. It might damage your lungs permanently.
Sadly it's very hard to distinguish from harmless infections, in the early stages.
Earlier this year I also suffered from some airway infection that was very similar to that, but luckily it turned out to be less bad. Nonetheless I have been coughing for months, and got medicine to enable me to sleep again at night.
Even if you won't run to the doctor this instant, please do see one if you get high fever or have trouble breathing.

The red crap is most likely blood that came from the back of your throat. There is nothing to worry about with that, unless it starts to swell.

Seriously, I have no experience with that whatsoever, not from others either. My family does because we get sinuses problems. My dad had to have surgery because it bothered him so much. Here is the definition of brown/red mucas. Brown mucus usually occurs due to an irritation of the sinus lining which causes it to become inflamed and bleed, giving mucus a brownish tinge. |

Well its been alittlemore than two weeks. My whole family has something now. Mom and dad are being treated for bronchitis. Sister is being treated for strep. I decided to go to the doctor today. I had to pay 70.00 because of no insurance.
Doctor told me i have a sinus infection/ chest cold. He gave me amoxicillin to clear it up faster.

I have insurance, and I still have to pay a $30 fee every time I go :/ at least the doctor is a good one |

Sucks to hear you've still not recovered. Keep going, things are bound to get better eventually.

Some infections are rather hard to get rid off. I now have plenty experience with that XD
