A member asked:
My grandma - 89 yearsof age started coughing up water since dinner last night - should she be concern?

May need evaluation: In view of her age, this may suggest aspiration of her secretions or acid. This could suggest congestive heart failure.Hence, evaluation by a physician is necessary to make sure that she does not have aspiration pneumonia or heart failure.
