A member asked:

I was in a car accident on 8/11/16 and diagnosed with a subcutaneous abdominal hematoma. now i have a sinus infection and received antibiotics yesterday. could the coughing reinjure the hematoma or infect it? i'm so scared it'll bleed or go septic.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Subcutaneous hematoma is a medical term for old blood under the skin, and will not be affected by coughing.
