A member asked:

My 7 year old spat out blood this morning, which he hasn't done before. it was dark red, with a small clot in it. should i be concerned.?

Discuss with PCP: Most of these turn out to be swallowed blood in a kid with occasional nose bleeds. If this seems likely, nasal saline wash or gel may help rehab the nose & reduce the frequency. If not, this would be something i would share with his doc.
