When you turn the handle to the hot water side do you get any water out of the spout?

Yes, but very little, it just drizzles out.

There is probably some trash in the hot water side of the faucet. I suggest that you turn off the water and take the faucet apart and see if there is something that you can see. Also look back into the faucet that is still in the wall and see if you see something that might be slowing down the water. Another thing you can do if you have some help is to wash our the pipe while you have the faucet apart. To do this you need to hold a large towel in front of the faucet openings and put a container behind this to catch water. The object is to let a little water come through the faucet without flooding the bathroom. Have you helper to turn on the water for just a mater of two or three seconds. Hopefully this will wash out the trash and unstop the line.Put the faucet back together and test it.

Were you asking for some help with a problem that you have. If you are it would be best to start a new thread, and give us the information about your problem.

This way I don't know what you are even asking about.
