Hi there, Ive got a 4 year old and hes prone to getting bronchitus when he has a cold, hes been coughing for 3 days now, since last night its been very heavy and flemmy, been vomiting because of the flem, he coughed up some blood with some flem a few minutes ago, should i be worried or is it just that hes been coughing so much? Thanks
Hi.... I understand your concern. As the kid otherwise normal I feel that it could be because of intense cough that he has this blood streaks in the sputum. But if there is any family history of tuberculosis contact then definitely this required for the evaluation. I suggest that you get him checked by his pediatrician once. Regards -
