Hello, my son (age 6) received the flu mist today, he stayed up late. He woke up after about two hours coughing and had blood on his face! I used a wet wipe and noticed that the blood was chunky. Though, it didn t continue and he coughed a few times and now, asleep...Should I be concerned?
Hi...coughing up blood could be because of trivial reason like a simple upper respiratory infection, or it could be because of serious causes like a Tuberculosis or a supportive lung disease. I suggest you to take him to the nearest emergency room, just to rule out serious illness. Once serious conditions are ruled out you can be rest assured. Regards -
