I need some help please! why would my 16 1/2 yr old son be tasting blood when he coughs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding: Tasting blood with a cough could mean that there is a small broken blood vessel in the throat or airway. If there is more that specs or streaks of blood, then he should be seen by the doctor. If the blood amount is very small, then you can give it some days to get better.
