A member asked:
I diagnosed and treated me for whooping cough. is it normal for me to be coughing up phlegm and blood and having a runny nose with mucus and blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Whooping cough, or pertussis can cause excessive, protracted coughing. Small membranes in the throat may burst with hard coughing and blood may come up with phlegm. You may benefit from meds to supress the cough, especially to help you sleep.
