Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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 suppurative 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 - Dr. Sumanth
