A member asked:
My 2 month old spit up a small spot of blood in her phlegm after violently coughing it out. is this cause for concern? i only saw it once..

Cough: I am less concerned about the tiny amount of blood than the "violent cough" in a 2 month old. If it was just a single incident then ok, but if she is coughing that aggressively regularly she needs to be evaluated.

Are you breast feedi: Are you breast feeding. There are not to many reasons for 2 month old to have blood in sputum 1) cracked nipples 2) stress ulcer 3) excessive suctioning of the nose.
